Vaststelling van de begrotingsstaat van het gemeentefonds voor het jaar 2016

This is a Dutch parliamentary procedure, handled by the Tweede Kamer (House of Representatives), to formally adopt the 2016 budget statement of the gemeentefonds, the municipal fund. The fund is the main source of general government grants that the national government transfers to the country's municipalities, which they can spend on local public services. The procedure mainly affects Dutch municipalities and their residents, since the fund's allocations shape how much money local governments have for services such as education, social support, and local infrastructure.
