Bill seeks more flexible, proactive grassroots mediation
Lawmakers are scheduled to discuss on August 10 two draft laws as part of their agenda of the first extraordinary sitting of the 16 National Assembly.
On August 10, lawmakers will debate two draft laws during the first extraordinary sitting of the 16th National Assembly. The first draft, the revised Law on Grassroots Mediation, includes five chapters and 35 articles. The changes focus on providing mediators with additional rights to enhance their effectiveness, clarifying the scope and forms of participation, and defining the rights and obligations of individuals participating in grassroots mediation.
Decentralisation and delegation of authority are also central to this draft, which aims to promote a more active and adaptable approach to grassroots administration, ultimately improving the efficiency and effectiveness of state management. The second draft law amends and supplements several articles of the Law on Contract-Based Vietnamese Guest Workers.
It eliminates five existing procedures and streamlines six others, reducing compliance costs by 34 percent. Additionally, the draft law removes unnecessary provisions to unlock social resources and grants businesses greater flexibility, particularly in areas such as worker recruitment, training, and preparation. This is crucial as other labor-supplying countries have implemented measures to support their workers seeking employment abroad.
Later in the day, the National Assembly will hold a plenary session to discuss draft laws amending and supplementing the Law on State Compensation Liability and the Law on Architecture. The latter bill aims to institutionalize the Party's guidelines and the State's policies on state compensation, promote decentralization and delegation of authority, and reform and simplify compensation claim procedures.
It also seeks to better protect the rights and interests of individuals harmed by unlawful acts by officials, enhance the accountability of state agencies and officials, and address shortcomings in the implementation of existing legislation.
