Wijziging van de Opiumwet (verruiming sluitingsbevoegdheid)

This Dutch bill amends the Opium Act, the main law regulating narcotics in the Netherlands. Based on its title, it would widen the powers that authorities have to close premises, such as those linked to drug offences. The full text was not reviewed, so the exact scope of the changes is unclear from this metadata alone. Owners and operators of premises where drugs are sold or used could be affected, as could local authorities, which typically use closure powers. Residents and neighbourhoods where such premises operate may also see changes in enforcement. The specific groups affected depend on the final wording.
