Vaststelling van de begrotingsstaat van het gemeentefonds voor het jaar 2019

This procedure concerns the Dutch House of Representatives (Tweede Kamer) formally adopting the budget statement (begrotingsstaat) of the municipal fund (gemeentefonds) for the year 2019. The municipal fund is the main general grant the national government pays to Dutch municipalities, which they can spend with considerable freedom on local services. Adopting the statement sets the annual amount of this national funding. The main affected parties are the Dutch municipalities, which rely on the fund for a large share of their revenue, and their residents, who receive local services financed partly through it. The metadata does not specify the exact amounts or changes, so this summary is based on the title and type only, not the full budget text.
