Legislative Process in Sweden Sample Clauses

Legislative Process in Sweden. The legislative process in Sweden may be divided into three separate processes; the inquiry process, the referral process, and the parliamentary process. Most legislative proposals (or bills) laid before the Swedish parliament are initiated by the Government, but they can also be put forward by MPs. Before the Government draws up a bill, the issue in question must be analysed and evaluated. This task is usually assigned to officials from the ministry concerned, who must then produce a report or commission related state agencies or institutes to do so. Before drafting a new bill the Swedish Government has the option of calling for a more extensive analysis, particularly when the issue at hand is of great importance or highly controversial. This is the full inquiry process in which the Government appoints an external special ‘committee of inquiry’ (expert individual or group) commissioned to examine an issue under the set rules and instructions provided by the Government. The result is published in the Swedish Government Official Reports Series (Statens Offentlig Utredning, or SOU), usually in book form. This process is complemented by a referral process, in which the Government sends the SOU report to a vast range of stake- holders to elicit feedback as well as provide an opportunity to assess the support (or lack thereof) to be expected for the recommendations of the report. The last stage is the parliamentary process, which is started by the responsible department/ministry drafting the bill. Proposals are then sent to one of the parliamentary committees for deliberation. Any MP may table a counter-proposal to a bill proposed by the Government. These counter-proposals, called motions, are sent to the same parliamentary committee as the bill. When the parliamentary committee has completed its deliberations, a committee report is submitted to the chamber (Sveriges Riksdag) for parliamentary debate and final approval. If adopted, the bill becomes law. The final decision- making is thus always made in the Riksdag. Once a bill has been approved, the Government will commission the ministry concerned to set up monitoring and evaluation procedures, and may also commission the publication of a national strategy, action plan or guidelines to coordinate all the interventions on a national level. These policy documents include research, guidance and analysis reports (kunskapsunderlag and underlag) which may be used to produce annual or evaluation reports (årsrapport),...
