China's top legislature will hold a standing committee session from April 27 to 30 in Beijing, during which lawmakers will continue to work on draft revisions to the Prison Law and begin reviewing revisions to several other laws.
During the session, draft revisions to the Law on State-Owned Assets of Enterprises, the Agriculture Law, the National Defense Mobilization Law, and the Water Law will be submitted for initial reviews, according to a proposed agenda decided on Monday.
