The 11th National People’s Congress Standing Committee includes the Charity and the Anti-Domestic Violence laws in its legislative plan

This article reports that the Charity Law will be put on the 11th National People’s Congress legislative agenda for 2011. The report notes that the NPC generally agrees with the Ministry of Civil Affairs draft of the Law, and asks the State Council to review the draft so that it can be considered by the NPC for passage, but does not state a timeline. Given that the Charity Law was also included on the 2010 legislative agenda, it is difficult to say whether this news represents any significant progress on the Law.
