Many delegates suggested reviewing the guidelines for draft laws and resolutions, noting that they should be considered and passed within a single session. In reality, many draft laws still face differing opinions when submitted to the National Assembly .
Continuing the agenda of the 9th extraordinary session, on the afternoon of February 13th, the National Assembly discussed in the plenary hall the draft Law on the Promulgation of Legal Normative Documents (amended).
During the discussion, many delegates still had differing opinions on the process by which the National Assembly considers and approves draft laws, including the guidelines on which draft laws and resolutions will be considered and approved in a single session.
The scene in parliament on the afternoon of February 13th.
Representative Nguyen Thi Viet Nga ( Hai Duong Delegation) expressed strong agreement with many of the new contents amended and supplemented in this draft submitted to the National Assembly, which will contribute to improving the quality of legal documents issued in the future.
Commenting on the regulations regarding the procedure for reviewing and approving draft laws, specifically Article 40 which stipulates that the review and approval process will essentially take place within one session, Representative Nguyen Thi Viet Nga suggested that further consideration is needed.
In reality, many draft laws, despite having undergone a thorough consultation process, still face differing opinions when submitted to the National Assembly for consideration.
Thoroughly reviewing draft laws over two or more sessions is a necessary precaution in the law-making process. This is especially true when our goal is to create laws that are stable and highly predictable.
Representative Nguyen Thi Viet Nga (from Hai Duong province) delivered her remarks in the National Assembly on the afternoon of February 13th.
"If we rush too much, it will be difficult to do things thoroughly and will affect the quality of the documents passed," the Russian delegate commented, suggesting that the normal process be maintained, considering and passing laws in two sessions as currently practiced. For necessary cases, a simplified procedure for drafting laws could be implemented.
Agreeing with the above opinion, delegate Pham Van Hoa ( Dong Thap delegation) argued that implementing the process in a single session severely restricts the right of National Assembly delegates to participate and contribute their opinions.
Therefore, according to him, the process of conducting a parliamentary session needs to involve consultation, input, and efforts to encourage more participation and speeches from National Assembly deputies.
"How can we ensure that when the button is pressed to approve the draft law, it receives high levels of agreement and consensus within the National Assembly?" the representative stated.
Delegate Pham Van Hoa (from Dong Thap province) gave his opinion and contributed his views.
Meanwhile, delegate Tran Van Khai (from Ha Nam province) analyzed the benefits of the National Assembly considering and passing draft laws, ordinances, and resolutions in one session instead of two sessions as before, except in some special cases.
According to him, if the National Assembly approves it, this would be a very significant and groundbreaking change, aimed at accelerating the process of drafting legislation that aligns with practical requirements as well as the demands of legal and administrative reform.
Representative Tran Van Khai (from Ha Nam province) participated in contributing opinions at the parliamentary session.
"The special approach is to create flexibility and timeliness in adjusting policies to suit urgent draft laws that require a quick response to practical realities. At the same time, it reduces the risk of delays in enacting legal documents that affect the overall management and administration of the country."
However, the passage of laws within a single session also presents challenges and requires solutions. It is necessary to clearly define the criteria under which a review process can be applied within a single session.
At the same time, the responsibility of the drafting and reviewing agencies should be strengthened. The Ministry of Justice must bear primary responsibility for reviewing and assessing the impact before submitting to the National Assembly," the representative stated.
Minister of Justice Nguyen Hai Ninh explained and responded to the opinions of the delegates.
At the end of the discussion session, Minister of Justice Nguyen Hai Ninh acknowledged and clarified the issues raised by the National Assembly deputies.
According to the Minister, addressing institutional bottlenecks is crucial. The new points in the draft Law on the Promulgation of Legal Normative Documents (amended) will contribute to removing these bottlenecks.
Clarifying the delegate's question regarding the process, Minister Nguyen Hai Ninh stated: In this draft law, the process for drafting legal documents has been fundamentally changed.
The government is the body that decides on policies to form the basis for drafting laws to be submitted to the National Assembly.
"The government's role now is to take full responsibility, so the government will present the proposal to the National Assembly when it deems it necessary and of sufficient quality."
"In the event that a draft law is submitted to the National Assembly and the National Assembly deems it unfit for approval, it can still be passed in subsequent sessions. That is, in principle, it can be passed in one session, but if it lacks the necessary quality, it can still be passed in the next session," Minister Ninh further explained.
