Quang Nam urgently seeks opinions on the draft Law on Organization of Local Government (amended)

Based on receiving comments, localities and units will synthesize and report to the Provincial People's Committee (through the Department of Home Affairs) before 11:00 a.m. on March 29, 2025.

The Department of Home Affairs shall preside over and synthesize the comments of units and localities, and directly report to the Ministry of Home Affairs before March 30, 2025; at the same time, report to the Provincial People's Council and People's Committee.

In the draft submission to the Government, according to the Ministry of Home Affairs, to implement the Party's policy on streamlining the organization and apparatus of the political system (no district-level organization, implementing a 2-level local government model), the National Assembly Party Committee is directing the amendment and supplementation of a number of articles of the 2013 Constitution with the scope of issues on the organization and apparatus of the political system.

In which, some articles of Chapter IX are amended and supplemented to regulate local government, it is expected to abolish district-level administrative units (DVHC), local government is only organized into 2 levels (including provincial level and grassroots level).

Accordingly, after the National Assembly considers and approves the Resolution amending and supplementing a number of articles of the 2013 Constitution, it will promptly amend and supplement the current Law on Organization of Local Government to ensure consistency with the provisions of the 2013 Constitution (after amendments and supplements) on local government.

The Law on Organization of Local Government 2025 (effective from March 1, 2025) has been comprehensively amended and supplemented to clearly define authority, promote decentralization, delegation, and authorization between central and local state agencies; between local government levels and overcome limitations in the implementation of the Law on Organization of Local Government 2015.

However, because the regulations on administrative units and the local government organization model in the current Law on Organization of Local Government are designed at 3 levels (including: provincial level, district level and commune level), it is necessary to amend and supplement the regulations to implement the 2-level local government model and resolve issues arising when converting the model.

Therefore, amending and supplementing this law is urgent, aiming to create a legal corridor for agencies and organizations in the state apparatus to operate according to the 2-level local government model, ensuring a compact, strong, effective, efficient, and effective province, meeting the country's new development requirements.

The Ministry of Home Affairs said that the amendment of regulations on the organization and operation of local governments is to fully institutionalize the policies and orientations in Party documents and resolutions, conclusions of the Politburo and Secretariat, and to specify the provisions of the Constitution (after amendment) to conform to the two-level local government organization model.

Ensuring a streamlined, efficient, effective, and unified apparatus and the consistency and continuity of the state administration from the central to local levels.
