Parliamentary bills and communications, requests and reports, debates and other parliamentary activity are available on the Riksdag's website under the "documents and laws" tab. The search feature is available only in Swedish. Coverage varies from the early-1970s to present.
Government official reports, such as reports of legislative commissions and other studies submitted to the government, are published in the Statens Offentliga Utredningar (SOU).
The Law Library has selected reports published in the Statens Offentliga Utredningar. These are shelved on the 4th floor in the KKV15.6.S73x section.
SOUs are also available at Wilson Library (J406.R15) along with other official parliamentary publications (Riksdagstryck) (J406.H24). Wilson Library also has bibliographies and other tools for finding Swedish legislative information (e.g., Riksdagens Årsbok and Sveriges Statliga Publikationer, Bibliografi).
