Adjustments to Law on the N.A.’s Organization passed

Notably, the term "extraordinary session" is changed to "irregular session."

In addition to two regular sittings each year, the legislature will organize irregular sessions at the request of the State President, the N.A.’s Standing Committee, the Prime Minister, or at least one-third of the deputies. These sessions are intended to promptly address urgent matters within the N.A.’s authority, thus meeting the needs of socio-economic development, national defense, security, and foreign affairs.

Deputies votes to pass the Law amending and supplementing several articles of the Law on the Organization of the National Assembly on Monday.

The newly-passed law amends and supplements 21 articles, up four articles compared to the draft law presented to the legislature for feedback, and abolished 17 articles of the old law.

The amendments and supplementations ensure timely institutionalization of the Party's guidelines on streamlining and restructuring the organizational apparatus and personnel work, in alignment with the amendments and supplementations to the Law on Government Organization, the Law on Organization of Local Administration, and the Law on the Promulgation of Legal Documents.

Additionally, the law does not specify the exact number or names of the legislature's agencies. This approach is consistent with the ongoing policy of streamlining the organizational apparatus, ensuring that the structure of the agencies aligns with their functions, tasks, and authority. Among the 10 N.A. agencies currently, eight are directly impacted by the restructuring, while two new agencies have been established.
