The Government has called on legislative drafting bodies to prepare complete, scientifically presented, and succinctly explained dossiers for law projects, while accelerating the application of technologies such as virtual assistants and legal databases. It also aims to improve policies for officials working in the legal field.

At a special session on legislative development held on April 1, the Government issued a resolution and provided feedback on four draft laws scheduled for submission to the National Assembly during its upcoming May session.

The Government stressed strict adherence to legal procedures in lawmaking. It urged lead drafting agencies and related ministries to ensure well-prepared dossiers, presented clearly and concisely. The directive included a call to integrate modern technology, such as AI assistants and legal data platforms, into the legislative process. It also emphasized the need to enhance mechanisms, policies, and working conditions for civil servants involved in lawmaking.

During the session, the Government also reviewed and provided input on four draft laws that are expected to be submitted at the 9th session of the 15th National Assembly in early May.

The Ministry of Science and Technology was tasked with refining the draft Law on Science, Technology and Innovation. The Government requested the law be revised to broaden creative freedom for scientists, support innovation and risk-taking, accept delays in research, and reinforce intellectual property protection.

For the amended Law on Atomic Energy, the Government emphasized that the draft must be concise, practical, and focused on nuclear power applications. It must also ensure safety, security, and compliance with both national realities and international law.

Regarding the draft law amending the Law on Economical and Efficient Use of Energy, the Ministry of Industry and Trade was instructed to review and clearly define responsibilities across all phases - from production and transmission to distribution and usage - to ensure cohesive implementation.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Finance is required to finalize the draft amendments to the Law on Enterprises. The revisions must simplify administrative procedures and shift the regulatory approach from “pre-checks” to “post-checks.”

At this session, the Government also decided not to review or give feedback on the draft Law on Water Supply and Drainage and the Law on Urban Management and Development.
