All proposals for parliamentary resolutions by Dan­marks­de­mokraterne

In short

Reading time: 1 min
  • Proposed by: Dan­marks­de­mokraterne (6 members, first named: Karina Adsbøl)
  • What is proposed: The proposal calls on the Danish Parliament to ask the government to introduce a bill in the 2026-27 parliamentary session to amend the Act on criminal record certificates for children.
  • Who would be affected: Criminal record certificates for children are currently used by associations and institutions that employ or engage people who have contact with children under 15.
  • When: The proposal has not been adopted yet. A proposal for a parliamentary resolution is not an act and does not change the rules by itself. If the Danish Parliament adopts it, it is usually a call on the government to act.

What the proposal says:

  • The government must introduce a bill in the 2026-27 parliamentary session to amend the Act on criminal record certificates for children.
  • Information about sexual offences must cover persons under 18 instead of persons under 15.
  • Convictions for violence against minors must also be covered by the scheme.
