MOJ launches new version of database for national administrative regulations

The new version of the database for China's administrative regulations was officially launched on the website of the Ministry of Justice (MOJ) on July 26, providing the public with such online services as document consultation, retrieval and download.

The newly-unveiled database includes 601 valid administrative regulations and 528 revised documents, as of July 26. According to the country's regulation on procedures for formulating administrative regulations, the administrative regulations compiled in the database are the official versions authorized by the government.

To further enhance the public's access to administrative regulations, the MOJ has worked with relevant departments to promote the construction of version 2.0 of the database. On the basis of version 1.0, the previous revised texts of the valid administrative regulations are now featured on the platform, so as to display the historical evolution of the documents and better meet the needs of legal practitioners.

Meanwhile, measures have been taken to further enhance the user experience, including improving the download function through a QR code, incorporating various search options like full-text, advanced and secondary search, as well as optimizing relevant features for mobile phones, enabling smoother integration with the MOJ’s website, according to an official from the MOJ.
