Concluding this content, Vice Chairman of the National Assembly Nguyen Duc Hai said that the Standing Committee agreed with the amendment of two laws and the amendment of the name of the draft law.

Regarding the Law on Management and Use of Public Assets , during the review process as well as the opinions of National Assembly deputies, many opinions agreed to amend the mechanism from "decentralization" to "decentralization" in the management and use of public assets.
Some opinions suggested considering, not amending or supplementing these provisions, and carefully assessing the impact; reviewing to ensure consistency and synchronization to avoid conflicts and overlaps within this law and related legal provisions.
The Standing Committee of the Law Committee and the majority of opinions of the Standing Committee of the TC-NS Committee believe that amending all contents from decentralization to decentralization for all contents as stated in the draft law will not be consistent with the provisions of the Law on Organization of the Government, the Law on Organization of Local Government, and even within the provisions of current laws.
“ It is necessary to review and revise all provisions of the Law on Management and Use of Public Assets and amend and supplement a number of articles of the Law on Government Organization and the Law on Local Government Organization. Accordingly, it is recommended that the Government thoroughly review and stipulate in the Law the contents of the transition from “decentralization” to “delegation of powers” in accordance with the provisions of the Law on Government Organization and the Law on Local Government Organization ,” the review agency said.
The drafting agency proposed that the draft law take effect from January 1, 2025. Some provisions in Clause 9 and Clause 11, Article 1 of the Securities Law shall apply from January 1, 2026. The Standing Committee of the Finance and Budget Committee proposed that the Government give its official opinion on the effectiveness of this draft law.
In addition, some opinions said that the Law on Capital has a number of provisions related to the same issue in this draft law, so it is recommended to clarify them. The Standing Committee of the Committee for Finance and National Defense requested the Government to have an official opinion and express it specifically in the provisions on the law's enforcement.
