BEIJING, Aug. 22 -- China's top legislature started its bimonthly session Thursday to review multiple draft laws and revisions to laws.
Li Zhanshu, chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (NPC), presided over the first plenary meeting of the session Thursday morning. A total of 166 members of the NPC Standing Committee attended the meeting.
Bills presented to the legislature include a draft revision of the drug administration law, draft amendments to the laws on land administration and urban real estate administration, and the draft resource taxes law.
The Constitution and Law Committee of the NPC suggested the above drafts be submitted to a vote for adoption at the session.
