Legislation: 13th NPC

Final update: February 25, 2023

Editor’s Note: We will no longer update this page now that the 13th NPC’s term has ended. Click here for the 14th NPC’s legislation.

  • This page is based on the 13th NPC Standing Committee’s five-year legislative plan (“Five-Year Plan”) and its special public health legislative plan (“Special Plan”).
  • Three types of legislative projects are listed in the tables below:
    • all numbered projects in the two Plans (i.e., Categories I and II projects in the Five-Year Plan, and Category I projects in the Special Plan);
    • any Category III project in the Five-Year Plan that has been submitted for review; and
    • any other important bill approved by the 13th NPC or its Standing Committee, including all bills passed after two or more reviews (“unlisted projects”).
  • All legislative projects are organized into two groups: “new laws” and “amendments & revisions.” Within each group, Category I, Category II, Category III, and unlisted projects form separate subgroups. Category I projects in the two Plans are not listed separately, but are given separate notations.
  • Within each subgroup, completed projects () are listed first, followed by projects pending by end of the term () and then projects that were not submitted for deliberation during the term. Projects on which the State Council has solicited public comments are each marked with a blue triangle ().
  • We have created a bill page for each completed and pending project. On the bill pages, votes are listed in the order of yea – abstention – nay.
