Legislation: 14th NPC

The list below is not the 14th NPC’s official legislative agenda. See notes for details.

Last updated: March 12, 2023

  • The 14th NPC and its Standing Committee (NPCSC) have begun their five-year term in March 2023. Their five-year legislative plan is not expected to be released until fall 2023, however, so for now, this page lists the following four categories of legislative projects:
  • These legislative projects are placed in two groups: “new laws” and “amendments & revisions.” Within each group, completed projects (🟢) are listed first, followed by pending projects (🟠). Projects on which State Council agencies have conducted public consultations are each marked with a blue circle (🔵). Projects that appeared only in the 13th NPCSC’s annual legislative plans are given a special notation, the dagger symbol (†).
  • We will add any new project in the NPCSC’s 2023 legislative plan to the list once it is released, likely in late April.
