In a proposal, the government suggests that they should be required to, both on their own initiative and upon request, provide information to, for example, the police, the Tax Agency, and the Security Service.

The purpose is stated to be that the police will be better able to prevent and combat crime.

In the proposal, it is clarified regarding schools that principals will assess whether information should be disclosed. This is done by writing it into the legislation. The date for when the law will come into force is also being moved forward, from January 1 to April 1.

Minister of Justice Gunnar Strömmer (M) believes that the legislative proposal is needed for effective cooperation, which can, for example, prevent children and young people from being recruited into gangs.

"Today, there are all too many obstacles to this – authorities and other actors can or dare not share information with each other," he states in writing.
