Implementation of laws and resolutions

Immediately after the end of the National Assembly session, the ministries urgently researched and advised the Prime Minister to issue a Plan to implement laws and resolutions (Electricity Law, Data Law). A number of ministries drafted a Ministerial Decision to implement the laws and are collecting opinions from relevant ministries and branches (Law on Notarization, Law on amending and supplementing a number of articles of the Law on Officers of the Vietnam People's Army, etc.).

In order to promptly bring new laws and resolutions passed by the National Assembly into life, the Central Council for Coordinating the Dissemination and Education of Law has promptly issued documents guiding ministries, branches and localities in disseminating laws and resolutions. The ministries in charge of drafting organized the compilation of documents introducing the basic content of new laws to be posted on the National Electronic Information Portal for Dissemination and Education of Law. The ministries, branches and localities have updated and posted the full text of the documents on the Electronic Information Portal/Website for easy access by officials and people.

After the laws and resolutions were passed by the National Assembly at its 8th Session, the ministries proactively reviewed and compiled a list of detailed regulatory documents to submit to the Prime Minister for promulgation (Decision No. 1610/QD-TTg dated December 19, 2024).

Accordingly, to detail the laws and resolutions passed at the 8th Session, the Government, the Prime Minister, the Ministers, and the Heads of ministerial-level agencies must issue 130 documents. Of these, there are a number of laws that require the issuance of many detailed documents, such as the Electricity Law (29 documents), the Law amending 9 Laws in the financial sector (15 documents), the Law on Cultural Heritage (16 documents), etc.

Up to now, according to the report of the Ministry of Justice, a number of ministries have proactively drafted and sent documents to the Ministry of Justice for review to ensure progress and deadline for submitting and promulgating detailed regulations.

The Ministry of Justice has proactively coordinated with ministries to review and send notices to the People's Councils and People's Committees at the provincial level on the contents of laws and resolutions assigned to local authorities for detailed regulations. Accordingly, the People's Committees of provinces and centrally run cities must issue documents to detail 3 contents assigned in the Law on Urban and Rural Planning, the Law on Fire Prevention, Fire Fighting and Rescue. In particular, the People's Committee of Hai Phong city must issue documents to detail 1 content assigned in the National Assembly's Resolution on the organization of urban government in Hai Phong city.

The volume of documents that need to be issued is huge in a short period of time.

The establishment and implementation of the annual law and ordinance development program must be based on practice and fully, correctly and promptly institutionalize the Party's policies and guidelines; contribute to removing bottlenecks, promptly reactivating stagnant and wasted social resources; and create a legal corridor for new issues and new trends.

Urgently send the results of reviewing legal documents that need to be amended and supplemented related to the reorganization of the apparatus to the Ministry of Justice for synthesis and reporting to the Government; in which, for the amendment of laws related to the names and tasks of ministries and agencies that will change after the reorganization and streamlining of the apparatus, it will be considered and reported to the Government to request the National Assembly Standing Committee to give opinions on the content, at the same time with the decision to add it to the Agenda of the 9th Extraordinary Session.
