In addition, amend and supplement Clause 1, Article 30 as follows: “National Assembly deputies have the right to participate as members of the National Assembly Council or Committees. Based on professional capacity, work requirements and the ability to arrange time to fully participate in the activities of the National Assembly agencies, National Assembly deputies may register to participate as members of the National Assembly Council or a Committee of the National Assembly. The National Assembly Standing Committee shall consider and approve the list of members of the National Assembly Council or Committees in accordance with the structure of the number of members of each agency that has been decided”.

At the same time, amend and supplement Article 39. Specifically, Article 39 on "Temporary suspension or loss of rights as a National Assembly deputy stipulates": The National Assembly Standing Committee shall consider and decide to temporarily suspend the performance of duties and powers of a National Assembly deputy in the following cases: a) A National Assembly deputy is prosecuted; b) In the process of considering and handling violations by a National Assembly deputy, there is a basis to determine that disciplinary action from warning or higher must be taken against a National Assembly deputy who is a cadre, civil servant, or public employee, or to handle by criminal law, and the inspection, examination, audit, investigation, prosecution, trial, and execution agency has issued a written request to temporarily suspend the performance of duties and powers of a National Assembly deputy against that National Assembly deputy.

A National Assembly deputy may return to perform his/her duties and powers as a deputy and have his/her legitimate interests restored when a competent authority has a decision or conclusion that there has been no violation, no disciplinary action, a decision to suspend the investigation or suspend the case against that deputy, or from the date the judgment or decision of the Court takes legal effect declaring that the deputy is not guilty or exempted from criminal liability. In case a National Assembly deputy is disciplined, depending on the nature and extent, he/she may request to cease performing his/her duties as a deputy or the National Assembly Standing Committee shall consider and decide to allow him/her to return to performing his/her duties and powers as a deputy or propose that the National Assembly dismiss the National Assembly deputy.
