During the afternoon session, the National Assembly listened to the Draft Law on amending and supplementing a number of articles of the Law on Handling of Administrative Violations to overcome shortcomings and difficulties of the current Law on Handling of Administrative Violations, contributing to enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of State management, ensuring the rights and legitimate interests of agencies, organizations and individuals. In particular, the National Assembly spent most of its time discussing the Law on Promulgation of Legal Documents.

The National Assembly Delegation of Nghe An province has made many additional contributions to the proposed submission of the 2021 Law and Ordinance Development Program; adjustments to the 2020 Law and Ordinance Development Program; and the Law on Promulgation of Legal Documents.

Specifically, regarding the responsibility of presiding over the explanation, reception and revision of the draft Law and Resolution, Mr. Tran Van Mao, Deputy Head of the Provincial National Assembly Delegation, proposed to maintain the current process of assigning the reviewing agency to preside over helping the National Assembly Standing Committee receive and revise the draft. However, it is necessary to review and supplement regulations to clarify the responsibilities of the subjects in receiving and revising the draft and other stages of the process of promulgating laws, ordinances and resolutions.

On the other hand, the provisions in Option 2 of the draft will reduce the workload for agencies, organizations, and National Assembly deputies submitting projects; in line with the trend of increasing the number of full-time deputies of the National Assembly in the coming time, ensuring objectivity in explaining, receiving, and revising draft laws, ordinances, and resolutions.

Regarding the development and promulgation of legal documents at the local level (district and commune level), comrade Tran Van Mao proposed to maintain the regulations on the authority to develop and promulgate legal documents at the local level as in the Law on Promulgation of Legal Documents 2015. Accordingly, the authority to promulgate documents of district and commune-level authorities is only in cases assigned by law to streamline the legal system.

Regarding Clause 4, Article 1 of the draft regulations on administrative procedures in the resolution of the Provincial People's Council, comrade Tran Van Mao said that it did not ensure consistency in the legal system. Therefore, it is recommended to amend the paragraph“In case it is necessary to prescribe administrative procedures in the resolution of the Provincial People's Council as prescribed in Clause 4, Article 27 of this Law"wall "“In case it is necessary to prescribe administrative procedures in the decision of the Provincial People's Committee to implement the resolution of the Provincial People's Council issued under Clause 4, Article 27 of this Law” as appropriate.

Some recommendations on the need to enhance the role of social criticism of the Vietnam Fatherland Front in drafting legal documents and proposing the drafting of Resolutions of the Provincial People's Council were also proposed by the representative of the Nghe An National Assembly delegation at the conference.

At the end of the discussion session, the presenting agency and the agency in charge of the review coordinated to report and clarify a number of issues raised by National Assembly deputies./.
