Wijziging van de Wet werk en bijstand teneinde de eis tot beheersing van de Nederlandse taal toe te voegen aan die wet (Wet taaleis WWB)

This Dutch bill, based on its title, would amend the Participation Act (Wet werk en bijstand, WWB) to add a requirement that applicants or recipients of social assistance demonstrate command of the Dutch language. The aim is to link language skills to access to income support and to labour market participation. The metadata does not include the full text, so the exact level of proficiency, exemptions, and enforcement details cannot be confirmed here. People who rely on social assistance under the WWB, particularly those who do not speak Dutch as a first language, would be most directly affected. Municipalities, which administer social assistance, would likely have a role in assessing and enforcing the requirement.
