Wijziging van de Jeugdwet in verband met de verduidelijking van het woonplaatsbeginsel (Wet wijziging woonplaatsbeginsel)

This Dutch bill amends the Youth Act (Jeugdwet) to clarify the 'woonplaatsbeginsel', the residence principle that determines which municipality is responsible for providing youth care services. The principle decides which local authority pays for and organises support when a young person needs help. The amendment aims to make the rules clearer and reduce disputes between municipalities about who is responsible. Young people in need of youth care, their parents or guardians, and municipalities across the Netherlands are affected. Municipalities that provide youth care services, and care providers working with them, may see changes in how responsibility and funding are assigned.
