Voorstel van wet van de leden Snels en Sneller houdende regels over de toegankelijkheid van informatie van publiek belang (Wet open overheid)

Stage otherUpdated 6d ago

This is a Dutch parliamentary bill, introduced by members Snels and Sneller, titled the Open Government Act (Wet open overheid). It sets rules on making information of public interest accessible to citizens, building on the existing right to request government documents. The bill belongs to the Tweede Kamer's own-initiative legislation, meaning it was proposed by individual MPs rather than the government. The bill would mainly affect Dutch government bodies, which would have to handle information requests and publish information of public interest, and members of the public who seek access to official records. Specific obligations and changes depend on the full text, which is not reflected in this summary.
