Legal basis: Article 82 of the Legislative Law of People's Republic of China (PRC). The people's governments of provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities directly under the Central Government and cities divided into districts and autonomous prefectures may formulate rules in accordance with laws, administrative regulations and local regulations of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government.
Local government regulations may stipulate the following matters:
(1) Matters that need to be formulated in order to implement the provisions of laws, administrative regulations and local regulations;
(two) specific administrative matters belonging to the administrative region.
The people's governments of cities and autonomous prefectures divided into districts shall formulate local government regulations according to the first and second paragraphs of this article, which are limited to urban and rural construction and management, environmental protection, historical and cultural protection and other matters. Local government regulations that have been formulated are beyond the scope of the above matters and continue to be effective.
Except for the cities where the people's governments of provinces and autonomous regions are located, the cities where the special economic zones are located and the larger cities approved by the State Council, the time when the people's governments of other cities divided into districts and autonomous prefectures start to formulate rules is synchronized with the time when the cities and autonomous prefectures determined by the standing committees of the people's congresses of provinces and autonomous regions start to formulate local regulations.
Local laws and regulations should be formulated, but the conditions are not yet mature. Due to the urgent need of administrative management, local government regulations can be formulated first. Two years after the implementation of the regulations, if it is necessary to continue to implement the administrative measures stipulated in the regulations, it shall be submitted to the people's congress at the corresponding level or its standing Committee to formulate local regulations.
Without the basis of laws, administrative regulations and local regulations, local government regulations may not set norms that derogate from the rights of citizens, legal persons and other organizations or increase their obligations.
