säädösehdotuksina

Säädösehdotuksina refers to a stage in the legislative process in Finland where a proposal for a new law or amendment is presented to Parliament. This proposal, known as a säädösehdotus, originates from the government. Before reaching Parliament, the proposal is typically developed through a meticulous process involving ministries, expert consultations, and often public feedback.

Once the government submits the säädösehdotus, it is assigned to a relevant parliamentary committee for examination. The committee scrutinizes the proposal, holds hearings with experts and stakeholders, and may propose amendments. Following the committee's review, the säädösehdotus proceeds to the plenary session of Parliament for a series of readings. During these readings, Members of Parliament debate the proposal and vote on its various sections and the overall text.

If the säädösehdotus receives the required majority vote in Parliament, it is passed as a law. Subsequently, the President of Finland formally approves the law. The entire process is designed to ensure thorough deliberation, transparency, and democratic participation in the creation of legislation. The term säädösehdotuksina highlights the transitional nature of the document as it moves through the various stages of legislative approval.
