Legislative document is a familiar concept to those who study law, but in fact, many people do not understand or understand this concept correctly. To help people easily understand what a legal document is, LawNet would like to share the response of the Ministry of Justice regarding this issue.
The Law on Promulgation of legislative documents 2015 of Vietnam was promulgated on June 22, 2015. This Law provides for principles, authority, manners, procedures for formulating and promulgating legislative documents, responsibilities of regulatory agencies, organizations, and individuals in formulating legislative documents. One of the notable contents of this Law is the regulation on numbers and symbols of legislative documents.
According to Vietnam’s regulations, before the start of the session of the Standing Committee of the National Assembly or before the date of the opening of the session of the National Assembly, the submitting entity shall send the documents about the project or draft document to the inspecting authority, Legal Committee, Social Affairs Committees, and other participating agencies for inspection.
According to Vietnam’s regulations, the Ministry of Justice shall take charge and cooperate with the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Home Affairs, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, relevant organizations in appraising the request for law/ordinance formulation before submitting it to the government within 20 days from the receipt of the satisfactory application for law/ordinance formulation.
The Law on Promulgation of legislative documents 2015 of Vietnam came into force from July 01, 2016 with several new points compared to previous regulations, of which one of the notable contents is the regulation on effective dates of legislative documents.
The Law on Promulgation of legislative documents was approved by the 13th National Assembly of Vietnam at its 9th session on June 22, 2015 and took effect from July 01, 2016. Although the law has taken effect, there are shortcomings in the implementation that need to be amended and supplemented for the regulations to come to life. It is the overlap of applicable validity between legal documents.
