Google's translation:

The circumcision of boys, except for health reasons, would be banned and up to six years in prison would violate such legislation, if Silju Daggar Gunnarsdóttir's bill and eight other members of the Progressive Party, Left Green, People's Party, and ~~Piracy~~ Pirate Party were made clear. The bill was submitted to Parliament today. Legislation is based on the circumcision of the sexual orientation of girls when prohibited but no such prohibition of boys is provided.

The MPs propose an amendment to the Criminal Code. According to the amendment, up to six years' imprisonment would be possible for bodily injury which would cause damage to the body or health of a child or woman by removing or removing sexual organs in part or in full.

The report states that the circumcision of childbirth boys has been used for about five thousand years, with general social acceptance and understanding of the liturgy of certain religious communities, mainly Jews and Muslims. Circumcision has become much more common in the nineteenth century when encouraged, with the argument that he would prevent various problems and behaviors. In recent years, however, this view has been used to circumcise for other purposes, but medical is a violation of human rights for boys, because it is irreversible intervention in their bodies, which the boys themselves have nothing to say. In addition, they are suffering from severe pain and are at high risk, including infection.

The circumcision of girls banned for thirteen years

Sexual sexual orientation of girls was prohibited by law in 2005, with six years imprisonment for violations of the law. However, there was no prohibition on boys' circumcision. The lawmakers 'transgressors say that the Icelandic government is sharply advancing in Iceland and beyond to prevent girls' circumcision. Now, the next step is a ban on the mutilation of boys' genitals.

For a better evaluation, these pm's parties were worth together 44% of the votes in the last parliamentary elections.

Edit: And 2 of them are on the government coalition (3 parties coalition)

"ef frumvarp Silju Daggar Gunnarsdóttur og átta annarra þingmanna Framsóknarflokksins, Vinstri grænna, Flokks fólksins og Pírata næði fram að ganga. Frumvarpið var lagt fram á Alþingi í dag. Lögum samkvæmt er umskurður á kynfærum stúlkna þegar bannaður en ekki er kveðið á um slíkt bann við umskurði drengja."

It's telling and significant that this is a woman's initiative.
