Voorstel van wet van het lid Heijnen tot wijziging van de Gemeentewet in verband met het terugbrengen van het aantal gemeenteraadsleden tot op het niveau van voor de dualisering van het gemeentebestuur

Stage submittedUpdated 5mo ago

This legislative proposal seeks to amend the Municipalities Act to reduce the number of members in local municipal councils. The goal is to return the council size to the levels that existed before the 'dualization' of municipal governance, aiming for a more streamlined local political structure. This change would primarily affect elected local officials and the organization of municipal governance across the Netherlands, potentially altering the representation ratio between council members and citizens.
