Vaststelling van de begrotingsstaat van het gemeentefonds voor het jaar 2020

This Dutch parliamentary procedure concerns the adoption of the budget statement (begrotingsstaat) for the Gemeentefonds, the municipal fund, for the year 2020. The fund is the main source of general national grants that the central government transfers to Dutch municipalities, which they can spend on local services. The budget statement sets the fund's planned amounts for that year, and the Tweede Kamer (House of Representatives) votes on it. The procedure mainly affects the Dutch municipalities, which rely on the fund for much of their income, and therefore the residents who depend on local services. It concerns the national budget rather than new EU rules. Based on metadata only; the full budget figures and text were not reviewed.
