Xinhua, April 24, 2017 Adjust font size:
China's top legislature convened its bi-monthly session on Monday, with legislators scheduled to consider several draft laws, amendments and reports.
Legislators will continue to review the draft amendment to the surveying and mapping law, the draft amendment to the securities law, and the draft law on nuclear safety, during the session of the National People's Congress Standing Committee, which runs Monday to Thursday.
They will also review a draft amendment to the standardization law for its first reading.
As the tenure of current lawmakers expires in March 2018, and new lawmakers will be elected, lawmakers will review a draft plan on a quota for regions and ethnic groups.
Other bills, reports and documents will be deliberated at the bimonthly session, including a border defense cooperation agreement among members of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, a report on advancing supply-side structural reform and a mid-term report on stock issuance system reform.
The session will also review a number of official appointments and dismissals. Endi
