On the Supervisory Correction Function of Record Review Opinions
The 2023 amendment to the"Legislation Law"grants the National People's Congress Specialized Committees and the Standing Committee's working bodies the authority to provide"review opinions"when examining issues"in conflict with the constitution or laws"or when they perceive constitutional or legal issues.The local people's congresses have made corresponding provisions regarding the review and filing of local regulations."Review opinions,"as a crucial measure to enhance the NPC's function of filing review,have more binding force than the pre-amendment"study opinions"and effectively prompt corrective actions by the drafting authorities.To further strengthen the supervisory function in NPC record review,it is essential to clarify the mechanism linking the supervisory role of the reviewing bodies with the corrective actions of the drafting authorities,outlining specific details such as the target,content,and method of supervision for"review opinions."
