Wijziging van de Gemeentewet en de Provinciewet in verband met de verruiming van de bevoegdheid van de raad en provinciale staten om ontheffing te verlenen van het vereiste van ingezetenschap voor wethouders en gedeputeerden
This motion proposes changes to the Municipal and Provincial Acts to give local councils and provincial boards more flexibility. It aims to expand their authority to grant exemptions from the residency requirement for aldermen and provincial executives, allowing people who do not live in the municipality or province to hold these offices. This would affect candidates for local executive positions and the governing bodies of Dutch municipalities and provinces, potentially diversifying the pool of qualified candidates available for leadership roles.
