Wijziging van de Gemeentewet en enige andere wetten in verband met het afschaffen van de bevoegdheid van gemeentebesturen om deelgemeenten in te stellen

This Dutch bill amends the Municipalities Act (Gemeentewet) and several other laws to remove the power of municipal councils to establish deelgemeenten, the sub-municipal district bodies that some larger Dutch municipalities have used to devolve local decision-making to neighbourhoods or villages. The change would close off the option for municipalities to create new districts of this kind under the current legal framework. The main directly affected parties are municipal councils and executives that currently have, or might wish to create, sub-municipal districts, as well as residents of areas governed by such bodies. The bill would change the legal basis for local governance structures within the Netherlands. This summary is based on the title and metadata only, not the full legislative text.
