The Standing Committee of the National Assembly proposes that the Government of Vietnam and the Supreme People's Court urgently direct the incorporation of feedback from the Standing Committee of the National Assembly and the appraisal opinions of parliamentary bodies to prepare the documentation for the draft laws and resolutions, ensuring quality and timeliness. In doing so, attention must be paid to continuing to perfect the content of policies, comprehensively and seriously evaluating policy impacts as per regulations; reviewing related laws to ensure the synchronization and consistency of the legal system;

Adhering to the spirit of legislative innovation, regulating only matters within the competence of the National Assembly, and not codifying practical issues that are in flux but assigning the Government of Vietnam, ministries, sectors, and localities to regulate to ensure the stability of the law and the flexibility to promptly adjust and supplement when necessary; strictly implementing Regulation 178-QD/TW dated June 27, 2024, of the Politburo on controlling power, preventing and combating corruption and negativity in legal construction work.

More details can be found in Resolution 59/2024/UBTVQH15 which is effective from December 11, 2024.
