In the afternoon of July 28, the National Assembly Standing Committee gave opinions on the draft Land Law (amended).
Presenting the policy orientation report on amending the 2024 Land Law, Member of the Party Central Committee, Minister of Agriculture and Environment Trinh Viet Hung said that this Law amendment aims at three main objectives.
Including timely resolution of urgent issues arising from the practice of implementing the Land Law; fundamentally removing bottlenecks in institutions, unlocking land resources to serve socio-economic development and the goal of "double-digit" growth in the new period.
Building a modern, streamlined, effective and efficient land management model through promoting decentralization, delegation of power, administrative procedure reform and digital transformation, meeting the requirements of organizing two-level local government.
Based on the preliminary results of Resolution No. 18-NQ/TW, the summary results of the 2024 Land Law implementation, the Government has approved 7 groups of policies.
Including innovating planning and land use plans in the direction of integrating, digitizing, and simplifying the planning system to suit the organization of local government at two levels; improving planning quality, strictly controlling planning adjustments and prioritizing land funds for infrastructure, social housing, education, healthcare and new growth drivers.
Improve the mechanism for land allocation, land lease and land use purpose conversion in a public and transparent manner; clearly stipulate cases of auctioning land use rights and bidding for land-using projects.

Improve the mechanism for exploiting surplus agency land funds and headquarters and prioritize land for education, healthcare, rental housing, social housing and priority development areas.
In addition, improve the mechanism for land acquisition, compensation, support and resettlement in the direction of harmonizing the interests of the State, people and investors; shorten site clearance time; supplement flexible mechanisms for key, urgent projects and cases with high consensus from the people.
Strongly shift from the thinking of "compensating for recovered assets" to the thinking of "rebuilding people's lives when the State recovers land", ensuring that people whose land is recovered have housing and living conditions equal to or better than their old housing.
Innovate the land financial mechanism and land prices in the direction of strongly shifting from administrative management thinking to land development management thinking.
Preliminary appraisal of the draft law, the Standing Committee of the Economic and Finance Committee agreed with the necessity and urgency of amending the 2024 Land Law.
The Standing Committee of the Economic and Financial Committee proposed to carefully review cases of allowing land recovery before approving compensation, support, resettlement plans and land recovery before completing resettlement arrangement to ensure that it is truly necessary, urgent, and for the common good.
Research to supplement a number of requirements for this case such as: having to approve a preliminary plan on compensation, support, and resettlement; having a temporary residence plan; having a commitment on the level of compensation, support, and resettlement before land is recovered.
At the same time, study and supplement some requirements for this case such as: having to approve a preliminary plan on compensation, support, and resettlement; having a temporary residence plan; having a commitment on the level of compensation, support, and resettlement before land is recovered.
