Legal validity period

The promulgation of laws is related to social order and citizens’ rights. Only a transparent and open disclosure method can ensure that the public understands and complies with the law and effectively maintain the spirit of the rule of law. Public disclosure without transparency may cause social chaos and even spark distrust. Therefore, the legislature should pay attention to the refinement of the publication procedure and publish laws in a timely and complete manner in clear and easy-to-understand language, so as to enhance society's trust in the law and promote the sound development of the rule of law.

The retroactive effect of administrative law is indeed a controversial issue. Even if the law has clear provisions, its impact on previous rights and interests and the maintenance of social order must be considered. If it is rashly applied retroactively, it may cause uncertainty and damage the rights and interests of the people. Therefore, the retroactive application of administrative law should be based on the principle of proportionality and take into account conflicts of legal interests, so as to balance the spirit of the rule of law and social fairness and justice. Legislators should clarify regulations in advance to avoid subsequent disputes.
