Delegates suggested that the authority to handle administrative violations should remain the same as it is now and be assigned to the court. Some delegates suggested that the Law should have provisions to allow people to have the right to express their opinions when they are punished for their violations. Regarding the scope of regulation, delegates said that this is a very broad Law that has a great impact on life, so the Drafting Committee needs to carefully study the practical legal provisions on handling administrative violations, summarize and include them in the draft law, overcome the situation where the law only provides general regulations, and review and classify documents to avoid overlap. In addition, it is necessary to promote propaganda and education, raise awareness of the law as well as bring the law to all people, especially in remote areas and ethnic minority areas.
Regarding the issue of increasing fines for administrative violations, most delegates agreed. Particularly for the inner-city areas of the 5 centrally-run cities, delegates proposed that the Government prescribe higher fines, but not exceeding 02 times the general fine, applicable to the same violation in the fields of traffic, environment and urban management and order based on the proposal of the People's Council of the centrally-run city. Such a regulation will ensure strictness and deterrence for violators.
Delegates also suggested that the Law should remove the provision of sending prostitutes to medical facilities. Management and social awareness of prostitutes should be improved. The wording should be rearranged to avoid duplication and administrative measures for minors should be separated into a separate chapter.
