MPs Sigurd Kvammen Rafaelsen and Kai Steffen Østensen propose amending section 18-3 of the electronic communications law. The proposers argue that an error occurred when the law took effect: a complaints board for electronic communications was activated alongside the rest of the legislation even though it is not yet operational. The proposal would grant the ministry legal authority to decide complaints until the board is established. The Standing Committee on Local Government and Administration recommends that the Storting pass the proposal.

Section 18-3, first paragraph, shall read: Until the complaints board for electronic communications is established under section 16-6, the ministry shall decide complaints against individual decisions made by the National Communications Authority under or pursuant to this law. The ministry may transfer complaints received before the board is established to the board if deemed appropriate.
The law takes effect immediately.
