The legislative focus centers on enhancing the election law and cybersecurity—specifically, identity verification for e-voting—along with reforming political ethics (via the EKRE bill aimed at eliminating expense allowances). Furthermore, detailed amendments are being addressed within planning and construction legislation, necessitating the resolution of inconsistencies concerning target noise levels. The speaker supports the ethics bill but is critical of the planning law amendments.

Legislative attention is currently focused on the critical oversight of government activities and planned reforms, specifically the central libraries reform. The speaker is demanding clarity on how the future of central libraries in county centers will be guaranteed and how the wage levels of cultural workers will be secured.

The speaker is the initiator and supporter of a draft resolution of the Riigikogu which would provide the government with guidelines for implementing measures to boost the birth rate. He supports the bill to lower the value-added tax (VAT) and stresses the necessity of addressing matters related to family benefits, parental allowances, and favorable home loans.

The legislative focus is centered on criticizing the government's actions and policies (family benefits, taxation), demanding a clear message from the head of government regarding the increase of the birth rate. The objective is to hold the government accountable for the demographic crisis.

The legislative focus is primarily directed toward amending the Rules of Procedure of the Riigikogu and the Local Government Organization Act (the dual mandate restriction) and limiting suffrage. Also under focus is achieving regulatory clarity regarding the waiver of Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA) for renewable energy projects, and the necessity of ratifying international agreements (specifically, the Korea aviation agreement).

The legislative focus is primarily directed toward overseeing the implementation of existing budgetary decisions and policies, including the funding of the Environmental Agency and the clarification of regulations governing biofuel production. It functions chiefly as an oversight body and an initiator of inquiries, requiring detailed explanations regarding the budget and its accompanying explanatory notes.

The speaker is acting in opposition, challenging the legislative bills initiated by the government (the car tax and general tax amendments). He highlights the bank tax bill proposed by EKRE in May 2023 as a superior alternative legislative solution. He demands clarity regarding the future of property taxes (specifically for watercraft) and the removal of the cap on the taxation of land beneath one's residence.
