论《立法法》修改背景下地方立法权的扩容

Study on the Expansion of Local Legislative Power Under the Background of Amendment of Legislation Law

2015年《立法法》的修改,对地方立法权进行了扩容。地方立法权的扩容虽没有《宪法》的直接规定,但并不违宪。然而,立法权限、立法素质和立法监督方面的问题使得扩容存在风险。通过明确立法权限的范围,提高地方的立法水平尤其是培养立法人员的素质,完善地方立法监督,加强立法监督的程序保障,有利于在规范地方立法权行使的同时,充分发挥地方的能动性。

Local legislative power has been expanded since the amendment of Legislation Law in 2015. Though the expan- sion is not directly regulated by the Constitution, we cannot come to the conclusion that it is unconstitutional. However, the expan- sion is now at risk because of problems on legislative authority, quality of legislation and legislative supervision. In order to strike a balance between regulating the exercise of local legislative power and exerting local initiative, it is necessary to define legislative au- thority, improve local legislation, especially the competency of legislators and perfect supervision of local legislation.
