Voorstel van wet van het lid Van Raak tot verandering in de Grondwet, strekkende tot opneming van bepalingen inzake het correctief referendum

Stage otherUpdated 6d ago

This is a private member's bill from Dutch MP Van Raak, submitted to the House of Representatives (Tweede Kamer). It proposes amending the Dutch Constitution to introduce a corrective referendum, a mechanism that would let voters call a national vote on laws already passed by parliament. Constitutional amendments of this kind are significant because they change the basic rules of how laws are made and checked in the Netherlands. If adopted, the change would give Dutch citizens a way to challenge recently enacted legislation through a popular vote. Parliament, the government and voters would all be affected by how such a referendum would be triggered and applied. This summary is based on the title and metadata only, not the full text of the bill.
