In addition, amend and supplement Clause 1, Article 30 as follows: “National Assembly deputies have the right to participate as members of the National Assembly Council or Committee. Based on professional capacity, work requirements and the ability to arrange time to fully participate in the activities of the National Assembly agencies, National Assembly deputies can register to participate as members of the National Assembly Council or a Committee of the National Assembly. The National Assembly Standing Committee considers and approves the list of members of the National Assembly Council or Committee in accordance with the structure of the number of members of each agency that has been decided”.

At the same time, amend and supplement Article 39. Specifically, Article 39 on "Temporary suspension or loss of National Assembly deputy rights stipulates": The National Assembly Standing Committee shall consider and decide to temporarily suspend the performance of duties and powers of National Assembly deputies in the following cases: a) A National Assembly deputy is prosecuted; b) In the process of considering and handling violations of National Assembly deputies, there is a basis to determine that disciplinary action from warning or higher must be taken against a National Assembly deputy who is a cadre, civil servant, or public employee, or to handle by criminal law, and the inspection, examination, audit, investigation, prosecution, trial, and execution agency has issued a written request to temporarily suspend the performance of duties and powers of a National Assembly deputy against that National Assembly deputy.

A National Assembly deputy is allowed to return to performing his/her duties and powers as a deputy and to have his/her legitimate interests restored when a competent authority has a decision or conclusion that there has been no violation, no disciplinary action, a decision to suspend the investigation or suspend the case against that deputy, or from the date the court's verdict or decision takes legal effect, declaring that the deputy is not guilty or exempted from criminal liability. In case a National Assembly deputy is disciplined, depending on the nature and extent, he/she may request to cease performing his/her duties as a deputy, or the National Assembly Standing Committee may consider and decide to allow him/her to return to performing his/her duties and powers as a deputy, or propose that the National Assembly dismiss the National Assembly deputy.

A National Assembly deputy convicted by a court verdict or decision shall automatically lose his/her National Assembly deputy rights from the date the court verdict or decision takes legal effect.
