The Rule of Law Reflection on the Legislative Power Issue of Provincial Supervisory Committees
With the continuous and profound advancement of the national supervisory system reform,and against the backdrop that the National Supervisory Commission has already obtained the power to formulate supervisory regulations,whether provincial supervisory committees should be granted the authority to enact supervisory rules has become an urgent theoretical and practical issue,resulting in two different viewpoints:"affirmative"and"negative".Reasons supporting the affirmative perspective,such as the transfer of legislative authority,considerations of legislative efficiency,attention to local realities,the practice of"equipping"in legislation,the vertical leadership relationship within the supervisory bodies,and the need for joint issuance by discipline inspection and supervision bodies,provide ample justification.Granting provincial supervisory committees the authority to formulate supervisory rules is justified on theoretical,institutional,and practical levels.Based on the principles of supervisory rule of law,granting provincial supervisory committees the authority requires providing solutions at the substantive level,designing procedures at the procedural level,and establishing a dual-record review mechanism for supervisory rules,thereby ensuring that local supervisory work operates within the framework of the rule of law.
