The province decided to authorize the administrative punishment power exercised by some county-level relevant departments, as well as the related administrative inspection power and administrative compulsory measures power, to the township ** and sub-district offices under the jurisdiction of about 20 pilot counties (cities and districts).
The notice clarifies the principles, scope, procedures and requirements of the empowerment pilot work, implements the township (street) "order" and the county (city, district) overall planning within the scope of the "Guidance Catalog", and determines the specific matters to be undertaken by the township (street) in batches and classifications, which not only takes into account the differences in the capacity and power use needs of different townships (streets), but also ensures that the matters undertaken by towns (streets) with similar conditions in the same area are basically the same.

In order to help solve the problems of grassroots governance, such as "small horses and carts" and "visible and uncontrollable", and further improve the ability and service efficiency of grassroots governance, the province recently issued the "Notice on Printing and Distributing the Guidance Catalogue of Administrative Law Enforcement Rights in Towns (Streets) under the Jurisdiction of Pilot Counties (Cities and Districts) in Shandong Province" to promote the extension and sinking of administrative law enforcement authority and power to the grassroots level.
It is understood that since 2018, in accordance with the unified deployment, Shandong has selected 27 townships and towns to carry out pilot reform of the administrative management system of economically developed towns, and authorized economically developed towns to exercise 160 administrative power matters in accordance with the law. Through the implementation of empowerment expansion, the social management and public service capacity of economically developed towns has been significantly enhanced, laying a good foundation for promoting grassroots empowerment pilots on a larger scale.
On the basis of summarizing the previous experience, the province decided to authorize the administrative punishment power exercised by some relevant departments at the county level and the related administrative inspection power and administrative compulsory measures to the township and sub-district offices under the jurisdiction of about 20 pilot counties (cities and districts), and notified the relevant matters to promote the effective development of the pilot work.
Actively and prudently promote empowerment, persist in granting empowerment in batches and categories, and implement dynamic management. The notice clarifies the principles, scope, procedures and requirements of the empowerment pilot work, implements the township (street) "order" and the county (city, district) overall planning within the scope of the "Guidance Catalog", and determines the specific matters to be undertaken by the township (street) in batches and classifications, which not only takes into account the differences in the capacity and power use needs of different townships (streets), but also ensures that the matters undertaken by towns (streets) with similar conditions in the same area are basically the same. If it is adjusted within the scope of the "Guidance Catalog", it shall be announced to the public in a timely manner by the pilot counties (cities, districts) after being reviewed by the municipal level in accordance with the procedures; Administrative law enforcement matters that are not suitable for the exercise of townships (streets) shall continue to be exercised by the original administrative law enforcement departments of the pilot counties (cities, districts) in accordance with the law, so as to prevent the counties (cities, districts) from simply "throwing the pot" of law enforcement power to the grassroots level.
Strengthen institutional building, enrich law enforcement forces, strictly review the legal system, and continuously improve the ability of grassroots units to perform their duties. The notice makes it clear that the establishment of comprehensive law enforcement agencies at the grassroots level will be strengthened, and the allocation of law enforcement forces will be strengthened by means of sinking from county-level law enforcement departments, tapping potential within townships (streets) and recruiting personnel, so as to ensure that townships (streets) have institutions and personnel to do a good job in empowering pilot work.
The notice proposes to establish three working mechanisms, including a transitional connection mechanism, a grassroots comprehensive law enforcement coordination and cooperation mechanism, and a jurisdictional objection resolution mechanism, to achieve information sharing and seamless connection between towns and streets, as well as between towns and streets and county-level administrative law enforcement departments and industry management departments. By strengthening the supervision and guidance of administrative law enforcement, standardizing the management of certificates, improving the supporting system of administrative law enforcement, and other administrative law enforcement standardization construction, to ensure that the empowerment work is carried out in a steady and orderly manner.
Adhere to the pilot project and gradually push it out, our province plans to select all towns (streets) under the jurisdiction of about 20 counties (cities and districts) throughout the province to carry out pilot projects, so as to accumulate experience for the next step in the province. The specific scope of the pilot project shall be recommended by each city to report to the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Department of Justice for research and determination.
The Guidance Catalogue clarifies the four elements of the matter code, the name of the matter, the basis for setting and exercising, and the original implementation entity in the form of **, and clarifies that the townships (streets) under the jurisdiction of the pilot counties (cities, districts) have 106 empowerment items in 6 fields of transportation, agriculture and rural areas, urban and rural construction management, natural resources, emergency management, and water affairs, involving two types of administrative powers: administrative punishment (100 items) and administrative compulsion (6 items).
