Before the government presents a legislative proposal, it is often sent out for consultation (remiss). What does that mean?
In the exam (Swedish)
Innan regeringen lägger fram ett lagförslag skickas det ofta ut på remiss. Vad betyder det?
- aAll eligible voters vote on the proposal in a special referendum.Alla röstberättigade får rösta om förslaget i en särskild folkomröstning.
- bGovernment agencies, organisations and others may give their views on the proposal.Myndigheter, organisationer och andra får lämna synpunkter på förslaget.Correct answer
- cThe proposal is kept secret from the public until the Riksdag has voted on it.Förslaget hålls hemligt för allmänheten tills riksdagen har röstat om det.
- dThe proposal is sent to the King, who must approve it before it goes any further.Förslaget skickas till kungen, som måste godkänna det innan det går vidare.
Why?
In a consultation, those affected by the proposal, for example government agencies and organisations, can say what they think. Their views help the government improve the proposal before it goes to the Riksdag.
