Delegates analyzed the models of some other provinces such as Bac Ninh, Khanh Hoa, and Ho Chi Minh City, where a percentage of costs or specific spending levels were applied. Based on the practice of localities, the Department of Finance proposed to discuss two options for regulating spending levels, including spending according to a percentage (%) of the total compensation, support, and resettlement costs or according to specific spending levels for each content.

In addition, the department also recommended clarifying the form of document issuance to ensure legality and avoid conflicts with the State Budget Law.
