Wednesday 3 June 2020 In order to mitigate the negative economic effects of the new coronavirus and create opportunities for education and continuing professional development, the Government has presented several proposals for further measures. Among other things, more money from the central government budget for 2020 will be earmarked for compensation for high costs for sick pay, sickness benefits, a contribution to keep public transport running and a contribution for public health and medical care. The Riksdag voted in favour of the Government's proposals.
Wednesday 3 June 2020 A municipality should have the right to refuse home care services to people who are on a short stay in the municipality. This is the opinion of the Riksdag which, by way of an announcement, calls on the Government to promptly prepare a legislative proposal to this effect. The purpose is to reduce the burden on the municipalities during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Wednesday 27 May 2020 The Government has proposed further measures to cushion the impact of the negative effects of the spread of the new coronavirus on society. The proposals include adaptations of the support initiatives that have already been introduced, as well as more effective checks to combat fraudulent use of the initiatives.
Wednesday 27 May 2020 Penalties are to be tightened for honour-related crime. Crimes for which the motive has been to preserve or re-establish honour are to be seen as an aggravating circumstance when assessing culpability. The Riksdag voted in favour of the Government's proposal.
Thursday 14 May 2020 The current spread of the new coronavirus has resulted in both small and large companies increasingly having liquidity problems. The Riksdag has therefore called on the Government by way of an announcement to carry out a review with a temporary focus on the time limits in the Swedish Companies Act that apply for personal payment liability in the event of lack of capital.
The Speaker is the Riksdag's principal representative, and as such directs and organises the Riksdag's work procedures. Andreas Norlén (Moderate Party) has been the Speaker of the Riksdag since 2018.
