Summary by the Danish Parliament (in Danish)
Forslaget moderniserer reglerne om Nemkonto i forbindelse med udviklingen af et nyt Nemkonto-system. Formålet er at skabe tydeligere rettigheder og pligter for borgere, virksomheder, offentlige myndigheder og private aktører samt at bringe lovgivningen i tråd med den teknologiske og finansielle udvikling siden systemets indførelse for over 20 år siden. Det foreslås bl.a., at konti i betalings- og e-pengeinstitutter kan anvendes som Nemkonto, og at finansielle institutter kan modtage kompensation for at bistå med Nemkonto-opgaver som led i en offentlig tjenesteordning. Derudover videreføres kompensationsordningen for borgere ved svindel eller fejl i forbindelse med Nemkonto. Endelig foreslås ventekontoordningen afviklet, da den ikke længere anses som hensigtsmæssig. Loven foreslås at træde i kraft den 1. juli 2025.
