I don't believe a bill will be introduced.

The Swedish Armed Forces (Försvarsmakten) have decided to standardize the use of the encrypted messaging app Signal for non-classified communications via mobile phones.

The Swedish military would likely have to reevaluate their use.

Frankly the military should re-evaluate.

As good as Signal is for the average non-technical person, organizations with resources would be far better served by hosting their own, using something like XMPP with encryption, with servers only permitting connection from their own compiled clients, run in a container on the phone, which have been available since at least 2010.

No business I've worked for would accept Signal as a solution, in part because you have little control over it.

It's only for non classified information. Sweden has other encryption schemes for communication.

Still, they don't control it. Which means support is a real problem.

They're not even paying for a service, which would give you contractual commitments.

Sure, but it's not like the security of the state is at stakes.
