← 🇳🇱 Tweede Kamer/WETGEVINGd6398523-352e-4722-b2c8-9c99512c903e

Wijziging van het Wetboek van Strafvordering in verband met de introductie van de bevoegdheid tot het bevelen van een middelenonderzoek bij geweldplegers en enige daarmee samenhangende wijzigingen van de Wegenverkeerswet 1994

Stage otherUpdated 6d ago

This Dutch bill would amend the Code of Criminal Procedure to give prosecutors a new power to order a substance test (middelenonderzoek) on people suspected of committing violence. It also makes related changes to the Road Traffic Act 1994. The metadata does not state the exact test or the detailed conditions, so the precise scope is not clear from this summary. The change would apply to individuals suspected of violent offences and to road users covered by the Road Traffic Act. Police, the judicial authorities and people subject to such tests would be directly affected. This summary is based on the title only, not the full bill text.
