Statens offentliga utredningar

Statens offentliga utredningar (SOU), "State public reports", is the name of an official series of reports of committees appointed and convened by the Government of Sweden for the analysis of issues in anticipation of a proposed legislation before the Riksdag or the issuance of ordinances.

Reports of committees conducted within a Swedish government ministry are published in another series, called "Departementsserien" (Ds).
