On September 1st, the 5th meeting of the Standing Committee of the 14th National People's Congress voted to pass the newly revised Administrative Reconsideration Law, which will come into effect on January 1st, 2024.
This revision of the Administrative Reconsideration Law clarifies the principles, responsibilities, and guarantees of administrative reconsideration, improves relevant provisions on the scope of administrative reconsideration, adds convenient measures for administrative reconsideration applications, strengthens the ability of administrative reconsideration to absorb and resolve administrative disputes, improves the acceptance and review procedures of administrative reconsideration, and strengthens the supervision of administrative enforcement by administrative reconsideration.
Administrative reconsideration is an important legal system for resolving administrative disputes, with the main function of preventing and correcting illegal or inappropriate administrative actions, and protecting the legitimate rights and interests of citizens, legal persons, or other organizations. The newly revised Administrative Reconsideration Law actively responds to social concerns and will better leverage the institutional advantages of administrative reconsideration, which is fair and efficient, convenient for the people, and serves as the main channel for resolving administrative disputes. It is conducive to protecting the legitimate rights and interests of the people, promoting the construction of a rule of law government, and promoting social fairness and justice.
