The Government and the Riksdag
It is the Riksdag that decides about Sweden’s laws. The government, on the other hand, can decide on supplementary regulations, for example the Work Environment Ordinance (1977:1166). The Work Environment Act (1977:1160) and this ordinance are renewed all the time.
All Acts and Ordinances are published in the Swedish Code of Statutes which you can read on the Riksdag’s website.
