On July 2nd 2015, the Dutch government released (in Dutch) the long-awaited bill (.pdf, in Dutch) + explanatory Memorandum of Understanding (.pdf, in Dutch) that overhauls the Dutch Intelligence & Security Act of 2002 (aka “Wiv2002″) into public consultation. The consultation closes on September 1st 2015. The bill is a complete rewrite of the current law (.pdf, in English), and includes (significant) expansions of power, as well as improvements to oversight, and new provisions for activities that the current law didn’t foresee (e.g. metadata network analysis, small-scale use of DNA).
