“首违不罚”的具体内涵及适用建议

The Specific Connotation and Application Suggestions of “No Punishment for the First Violation”

新《行政处罚法》对“首违不罚”进行了明确规定,体现了“刚柔并济”的执法方式以及教育与处罚相结合的原则,有利于提升行政的效率以及优化行政的效果,本次的修改也体现了重大的进步。而由于“首违不罚”在新《行政处罚法》中属于新增条款,在实际适用的过程中需要进一步细化,故本文在对“首违不罚”的具体内涵进行阐述的同时也对该制度的具体落实提供些许建议以供参见,其中将从“首违不罚”程序的选择、适用标准的细化、适用边界的划定以及加强监督等方面进行论述。

The new Administrative Punishment Law clearly stipulates that “no punishment for the first violation” and embodies the law enforcement method of “combining hardness and softness” and the principle of combining education and punishment, which is conducive to improving the efficiency of administration and optimizing the effect of administration. This revision also reflects significant progress. However, since “no punishment for the first violation” is a new provision in the new Administrative Punishment Law, it needs to be further refined in the process of practical ap-plication. Therefore, this paper expounds the specific connotation of “no punishment for the first vi-olation” and also provides some suggestions for the specific implementation of the system for ref-erence. It will be discussed from the selection of “first violation without penalty”, the refinement of applicable standards, the delimitation of applicable boundaries and the strengthening of supervi-sion.
