2015年3月15日第十二届全国人民代表大会第三次会议通过了《关于修改〈中华人民共和国立法法〉的决定》,新法第十六条之规定,无疑拓宽了广大人民参与立法的途径,发挥了人大代表在立法中的作用,推进了科学立法、民主立法的新进程。但究其条文本身却存在某些不足,通过对该条款的利弊分析,并运用统计学、经济学相关知识,提出该条款在具体法律实践中的一些个人看法。

Decision on the Amendment of the Legislation Law of PRC was approved at the Third Session of the 12th National People＇s Congress on March 15th,2015.The Article 16 of the new Legislation Law will undoubtedly open up the way the majority of the people are involved in legislation,exerting a huge influence of representatives of peo-ple and promoting the process of scientific legislation and democratic legislation.But the provisions themselves have some defects or deficiencies.This thesis analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of the new provisions through the methods of statistics and economics and proposes some of my personal views about the new provisions in the spe-cific legal practices.
