Increase spending on drafting legal documents

At the working session, delegates gave their opinions on the Draft Resolution regulating the allocation of State budget funds to ensure the work of drafting legal documents and perfecting the legal system in Nghe An province.

The delegates all agreed that the activity of developing legal documents is a complicated process, requiring a lot of intelligence. Therefore, the contents of the draft Resolution have attached importance to the tasks and roles of this activity. The draft closely followed Circular 42 of the Ministry of Finance, ensuring adequate investment of resources and conditions, removing difficulties to effectively carry out the tasks of improving the effectiveness and efficiency of law-making, law enforcement, and perfecting the legal system at the local level.

According to the Director of the Department of Justice, compared with Resolution 03/2017 of the Provincial People's Council, this draft resolution has proposed a budget increase of nearly 3 times.

Agree with the plan to amend and supplement Resolution 13/2020 of the Provincial People's Council

At the review session, delegates also gave their opinions on the Draft Resolution amending and supplementing a number of articles of Resolution No. 13 of the Provincial People's Council regulating the level of regular support for the positions of Captain and Deputy Captain of the Civil Defense Team and providing fire prevention and fighting equipment for the Civil Defense Team in Nghe An province for the period 2021 - 2025.

Delegates commented that the draft resolution was complete and elaborate, with reasonable adjustments.

According to the provisions of Resolution 13/2020-HDND, the current monthly regular support level for the captain and deputy captain of the civil defense team in Nghe An province is lower than the minimum regulation of the Government. With this draft Resolution, a suitable support level has been established, but the opinions of the delegates are that there is still a difference between regions. Doing the same task, but being decentralized. Therefore, the delegates suggested that the resolution should be based on the characteristics of the province's situation, there needs to be a balance, not to let the regional difference be too much.

Opinions agree that investing in fire prevention and fighting is investing in the province's sustainable development. Local support policies are consistent with the practice of fire prevention and fighting; ensure compliance with legal regulations on regimes, policies and budget laws; and ensure the province's budget can be balanced.

The estimated monthly regular support budget for civil defense team leaders and deputy leaders in the whole province is 18,962,611,200 VND, an increase of 5,091,691,200 VND compared to the implementation roadmap of Resolution 13/2020 of the People's Council for the period 2023-2025.

In addition, the meeting agreed on the plan to amend and supplement Resolution 13/2020-HDND, instead of building a completely new Resolution. The issuance of the Resolution amending and supplementing a number of articles of Resolution 13 is very necessary, in accordance with current legal regulations and to better meet the requirements of fire prevention, fire fighting and rescue at the grassroots level.
