Background & Purpose

During the autumn of 2025, opposition parties submitted 37 proposals concerning how the Swedish state should manage its agencies, digital tools, and properties. These proposals aimed to change how the government operates, but they were not adopted by the parliament.

The Decision

The Swedish parliament voted to say no to all 37 proposals. This means that the current rules and methods for how state agencies organize their work will continue as before.

Does this affect you?

  • State agency employees: Their daily work environment and organizational structure remain governed by existing policies rather than the proposed changes.
  • Public sector managers: They retain the authority to organize their agency's operations to meet societal needs as they see fit, without new central mandates.

In Practice

  • State agencies will continue to decide their own internal organization.
  • No new national guidelines for state IT or digitalization were introduced through these motions.
  • The current system for managing state-owned properties remains unchanged.
  • The government's ongoing work in these areas will continue without the influence of these specific proposals.
