More importance
In recent years, China has attached greater importance to implementing the Constitution, prompting legislators to step up reviews of normative documents to ensure they do not contradict the Constitution.
Such documents that conflict with the Constitution or its spirit or principles, must be corrected to safeguard the authority of fundamental law.
To enable reviews and further uphold the authority of the Constitution, the latest draft amendment to the Legislation Law states that the NPC's Constitution and Law Committee should provide reports with opinions after reviewing draft laws or revisions. In these reports, the committee needs to explain whether the draft laws or revisions are consistent with the Constitution.
The draft amendment states that if necessary, the committee will be permitted to review normative documents involving a special industry or concerning a topical issue, in order to make such reviews more targeted.
Feng, from Renmin University, wrote in his article that amending the Legislation Law is being put forward to align with the latest amendment to the Constitution unveiled in 2018.
"It is also to lay the foundation, pave the way and set the standard to comprehensively advance law-based governance in all respects," the article stated.
