Written by AI from verbatim quotes from the source and checked by code and AI. Dates, tables and the fact box are calculated by fixed rules. Unofficial translation. Always read the original.

If the bill is passed:

  • References in a long list of acts are updated to the new act.
  • The Employment Council is removed from the provision: from now on, only the director of the Agency for Labour Market and Recruitment assesses whether an unemployment insurance fund is working in a way that is harmful to unemployment insurance.
  • The Minister for Employment can set rules allowing municipalities to use artificial intelligence to support case handling in connection with employment-related tasks, including on the processing of personal data.
  • The municipality must follow up on a sick leave notification for the first time no later than the end of the eighth week. Today, the requirement is that the municipality follows up at least once within the first half year.

Summary by the Danish Parliament (in Danish)

Lovforslaget er en konsekvens af en ny hovedlov om be­skæfti­gelses­ind­sat­sen (L 61) og skal tilpasse en lang række love til de nye regler. Forslaget indebærer hovedsageligt tekniske og lovtekniske ændringer, hvor henvisninger i forskellige love opdateres som følge af den nye hovedlov og ophævelsen af loven om organisering og understøttelse af be­skæfti­gelses­ind­sat­sen. Lovforslaget skal ses i sammenhæng med lovforslagene L 61 og L 63, der sammen med dette lovforslag udmønter de sidste dele af ”Aftale om reform af be­skæfti­gelses­ind­sat­sen – Mere værdighed, større frihed og færre regler”, som den tidligere regering (Socialdemokratiet, Venstre og Moderaterne), Liberal Alliance, Det Konservative Folkeparti, Dansk Folkeparti og Radikale Venstre indgik den 9. april 2025. Lovforslaget foreslås at træde i kraft den 1. januar 2027.
