17 Prefecture Level Cities In Guangdong Will Be Granted Local Legislative Power.

The Standing Committee of the provincial people's Congress held a forum on legislative experience exchange to promote the legislative work in Guangdong. Xiao Zhiheng, deputy director of the Standing Committee of the provincial people's Congress, attended and delivered the speech. Chen Yikui, Secretary General of the Standing Committee of the provincial people's Congress, presided over the meeting. It is understood that after the revision of the legislative law, Guangdong has the local legislative power from 4 large cities, and becomes a 21 city with local legislative power.

Wang Bo, director of the law and Work Committee of the Standing Committee of the provincial people's Congress, introduced that after the revision of the legislative law, the concept of "larger city" would no longer appear, replacing the "city with districts". therefore Guangdong In addition to the original Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Zhuhai The four cities of Shantou enjoy greater legislative power. The three cities of Shenzhen, Zhuhai and Shantou also enjoy the legislative power of the Special Administrative Region. Ruyuan, Lianshan and Liannan three autonomous counties enjoy the legislative power of ethnic autonomous areas, and 17 other prefecture level cities are about to enjoy local legislative power according to law.

There are places to give all districts. legislative power At the same time, in order to avoid duplication of legislation and safeguard national unity, the amended legislative law clearly stipulates that municipalities with districts can formulate local laws and regulations on matters such as "urban and rural construction and management, environmental protection, and protection of historical culture". The local laws and regulations which have already been formulated by the larger cities will continue to be effective beyond those mentioned above.

Wang Bo introduced that the legislative power of 17 prefecture level cities that have not yet had local legislative power will be implemented in three batches. The first batch of cities to be selected in the Pearl River Delta region and the cities in the eastern and western parts of the country chose 3~5 cities, that is, the first batch of prefecture level cities that could implement the legislative power may have 6~10; the second batch is going to rank the other cities in the Pearl River Delta region, as well as the legislative requirements, legislative capacity, population size, geographical area, total economic volume and so on in the eastern and western parts of the province. The third batch will strengthen the guidance and coordination of the remaining few cities which do not have the basic legislative capacity, and promote their ability to work as soon as possible.

The Standing Committee of the provincial people's Congress convened a forum on high-level personnel training in Guangdong's local legislation, and organized relevant parties to carry out research in 21 prefectures and cities above the province. From the survey, the legislative work of the district is faced with four problems.

First of all, the legislative body and the establishment are generally not suited to the need to carry out the legislative work. Only a few cities such as Foshan, Huizhou and Zhongshan have made preliminary arrangements for the establishment of specialized legal institutions. Secondly, the lack of legislative personnel and lack of experience can not meet the actual needs of local legislation. Among the 17 legislative committees which have no legislative power, there are 39 undergraduates or above, including 2 doctorate candidates and 6 Master's degrees, with an average of less than 2.3 persons in each city. At the same time, the preparatory work of legislation is different. Finally, the talent pool and distribution are unbalanced.
