The NPC Standing Committee (NPCSC) is soliciting public comments on the following two bills through July 21, 2020:
- draft Veterans Support Law 退役军人保障法草案
- draft Rural Revitalization Promotion Law 乡村振兴促进法草案
All linked files are PDF documents in Chinese. English translations will be provided if and when available. The accompanying explanations of these drafts can be read here (PDF).
The draft Law on Safeguarding National Security in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region [香港特别行政区维护国家安全法] was reviewed together with those two bills last week, but were not released today. Since the NPCSC will meet again on Sunday and will likely adopt that Law, it seems all but certain that the NPCSC will not release a draft of the Law for public comments. We have summarized and analyzed an excerpted explanation of the bill here.
To submit comments online, please refer to this guide. The “Occupations” [职业] dropdown menu for the draft Veterans Support Law includes the following options: “veterans” [退役军人], “state organs and their employees” [国家机关及其工作人员], “public institutions, social groups, and their employees” [事业机关、社会团体及其工作人员], “state-owned enterprises and their employees” [国有企业及其工作人员], and “other” [其他]. That menu for the draft Rural Revitalization Promotion Law includes these options: “state organs and their employees” [国家机关及其工作人员], “public institutions, social groups, and their employees” [事业机关、社会团体及其工作人员], “farmers” [农民], “farmers’ enterprises” [农民企业], “specialized farmers’ cooperatives” [农民专业合作社], and “other” [其他].
