According to the National Assembly Chairman, the volume of legislative work at this session is very large, including many complex and important draft laws that are of great interest to voters and the people.
Typical examples are the group of 3 draft laws on land, housing, and real estate business. The National Assembly Chairman said that these are draft laws that have a great impact on the economy and society, are closely related to each other, and are also directly related to the contents of the draft Law on amending and supplementing a number of articles of the Law on Property Auction. It is necessary to ensure high synchronization and unity to unlock development resources, properly and fully institutionalize the Party's resolutions; at the same time, it is necessary to pay close attention to avoid creating new institutional obstacles, avoiding loopholes that can lead to negativity, waste, group interests, and local interests.
The Land Law Project (amended) is one of the very important legislative tasks of the entire term, expected to be submitted to the National Assembly for approval at the next session.
The Economic Committee and agencies of the National Assembly have been very active in organizing seminars and discussions to collect opinions from experts, relevant agencies and organizations; promptly coordinating with the Government to absorb, revise and complete the project; reporting to the National Assembly Chairman and Vice Chairmen for guidance on major contents with different opinions.
Up to now, many contents have been basically agreed upon by the agencies. As for some contents that were brought up for comments at this session, the National Assembly Chairman requested that members of the National Assembly Standing Committee continue to carefully study and pay attention to contributing opinions to complete and submit to the National Assembly the draft with the highest quality.
The group of laws in the field of national defense and security at this session also accounted for a large number with 3 projects including: Law on Management and Protection of National Defense Works and Military Zones; Law on Forces Participating in Protecting Security and Order at the Grassroots; Law on Citizen Identification (amended).
These are important draft laws, contributing to perfecting the legal system in the field of national defense and security to meet the requirements of protecting the Fatherland and ensuring security in the new situation.
The National Assembly Chairman emphasized and requested that delegates study and give specific opinions, including continuing to work with the Government to frankly, comprehensively and receptively assess the impact of regulations, especially on organization, staffing, budget... to contribute to perfecting the draft laws submitted to the National Assembly.
In addition, the draft Law on Social Insurance (amended) also raises many "hot" issues that have a great impact on social security. The National Assembly Chairman requested the National Assembly Standing Committee to focus on giving opinions on such issues as the time of social insurance payment, one-time withdrawal of social insurance, salary as the basis for social insurance payment, and subjects participating in compulsory social insurance.
At this session, the National Assembly Standing Committee will consider and decide on a number of other issues within its authority.
