Review
Review of the framework for supervision and detention
What's at stake: The decision concerns whether the current legislative proposal on supervision and detention is sufficiently developed and legally sound, or whether further inquiry is needed before new powers, such as electronic monitoring, are introduced. It affects how quickly the rules can be applied and what legal safeguards they provide for the people affected.
Case texts and AI reasoning are AI-translated from the Swedish originals; the Swedish text is authoritative.
What the vote decides
The question is whether the government should return with a new, more thoroughly worked-out legislative proposal on supervision and detention - including a more in-depth analysis of enhanced supervision through electronic monitoring - rather than proceeding with the proposal now on the table.
Yes Yes — the committee proposal
The committee rejects the motions, considering the government's proposal to be sufficiently balanced and predictable. Parliament therefore rejects the motions calling for a review.
No No — the reservations
Reservation 3 (V, MP)
V and MP want the government to return with a new legislative proposal characterized by clarity, predictability and thorough legal-certainty assessments - including that supervision should be used as the first option, new review of decisions, public counsel and the least intrusive placement - and want an in-depth analysis of whether enhanced supervision with electronic monitoring is necessary, effective and proportionate before it is introduced.

Riksdag decision: Parliament approved on 15 June certain parts of the government's proposal on tightened rules on supervision and detention in the migration process. The new rules that parliament approved mean that more forms of supervision as an alternative to detention are introduced. Supervision shall mean that a person is obligated to reside at a certain location or be within a certain area.
Residence obligation shall be combined with conditions on electronic monitoring if needed to ensure that the residence obligation is followed. It will become clearer what conditions apply for placing a person under supervision and for taking a person into detention. Furthermore, it will become clearer which authority is responsible at each stage of the migration process for deciding on supervision and detention.
These rules will mainly enter into force on 21 July 2026.
During the debate in the chamber on 14 June, a demand for suspension was made regarding certain proposals. The demand concerned certain grounds for taking children into detention, time limits for certain children in detention, and separation of children from their guardians.
After a vote in the chamber, the proposal was referred to the Constitutional Committee for examination under section 2, chapter 22, third paragraph of the Instrument of Government.
The Constitutional Committee concluded on 16 June in an examination that certain legislative proposals on supervision and detention of children in the Aliens Act are covered by a special legislative procedure in the Instrument of Government, which may enable suspension of the proposals for twelve months.
Parliament decided on 17 June to suspend the legislative proposals on certain grounds for taking children into detention, time limits for certain children in detention, and separation of children from their guardians.
The suspension decision means that the government's legislative proposals are sent back to the Social Insurance Committee and remain suspended there for at least twelve months.
Counter-proposals
The counter-proposal wants to reject the government's legislative proposals on detention and restrictions for asylum seekers. (V, MP) — Reservation 3
