Wijziging van de Gemeentewet, de Wet openbare lichamen Bonaire, Sint Eustatius en Saba en enkele andere wetten in verband met uitbreiding van de sluitingsbevoegdheid van de burgemeester en de gezaghebber ter handhaving van de openbare orde en om enkele omissies te herstellen

This Dutch bill amends the Municipalities Act, the Public Bodies Act for Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba, and several other laws. It would widen the power of mayors, and of the governor on the Caribbean islands, to order the closure of buildings or premises in order to maintain public order. It also aims to fix some gaps and omissions in the existing legislation. Based on the title only, the bill is a national legal change rather than an EU measure. The main groups affected are municipal mayors across the Netherlands, the governor and local authorities of Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba, and owners or operators of premises that could be closed. Residents and visitors in areas where public order is a concern could also be affected. This summary is based on metadata only, not the full legislative text.
