Voorstel van wet van de leden Van der Ham en Van Gent tot wijziging van de Winkeltijdenwet in verband met het verruimen van de bevoegdheid van gemeenten om vrijstelling te verlenen van de verboden met betrekking tot de zondag en een aantal feestdagen

Stage submittedUpdated 5mo ago

This legislative proposal aims to amend the Shop Opening Hours Act to give local municipalities more flexibility. It seeks to expand the authority of local governments to grant exemptions from existing bans on opening shops on Sundays and specific public holidays. This change would primarily affect retail business owners and local governments, allowing more shops to operate on weekends and holidays based on local decisions rather than strict national restrictions.
