Background & Purpose
The proposals aimed to improve how Sweden's government agencies operate and manage statistics, suggesting various reforms to make them more efficient and modern.
Proposals & Debate
The opposition submitted about 30 proposals covering topics like the structure and efficiency of state agencies, how they use digital tools and IT, the state's role as an employer, and how government properties are managed. The Riksdag's committee suggested saying no to these, noting that there is already ongoing work in these areas and that agencies largely decide their own organization to best meet society's needs.
The Decision
The Swedish Parliament rejected all 30 proposals from the opposition regarding state administration and statistics. This means no new laws or changes will be made based on these specific suggestions.

- Ongoing work on digitalization and IT within state administration will proceed as planned, without new directives from these rejected proposals.
