Wijziging van de Gemeentewet, de Provinciewet, de Waterschapswet en de Wet openbare lichamen Bonaire, Sint Eustatius en Saba in verband met de participatieverordening en het uitdaagrecht van inwoners en maatschappelijke partijen (Wet versterking participatie op decentraal niveau)

Stage submittedUpdated 5mo ago

This legislative amendment aims to enhance democratic participation at the local level. It modifies laws governing municipalities, provinces, water boards, and public bodies in the Caribbean Netherlands to implement new participation ordinances and a 'right to challenge' for residents and social organizations. Local residents and civil society organizations are affected, as they will gain more formal tools to influence local policy and the ability to propose alternative ways of managing public services.
