Vaststelling van de begrotingsstaat van het gemeentefonds voor het jaar 2015

This procedure concerns the adoption of the 2015 budget statement (begrotingsstaat) for the gemeentefonds, the Dutch municipal fund. The fund is the central pot from which the national government distributes general grants to the Netherlands' municipalities, which they can spend largely as they see fit. Parliament's approval sets the amount and allocation for that year. The main parties affected are the Dutch municipalities, which rely on these grants for public services such as local government administration, social support and infrastructure. Residents of those municipalities are indirectly affected through local service levels and budgets. This summary is based on metadata only, not the full legislative text.
