After Being Reborn, I became a firefighter again?

Chapter 665: Chapter 466: What is Law?_3

"I’m quite concerned about the cooperation of other units... Can’t we ensure it through provincial-level local regulations?"

Facing the future producer of the "Firefighting Law," Fang Huai had to lay out all his thoughts. Only by making the other party fully understand could he receive a feasible solution.

Cao Gang shook his head.

"Regulations are effective and compulsory, but it’s not as simple as you think.

Do you know the difference between laws and regulations?

Laws can cover multiple aspects and numerous contents, but local regulations can only make small-scale adjustments based on laws, typically in a specific aspect of social life or a specific content.

The core is whether it’s a small-scale or a large-scale modification.

This concept can also be analogized to the legal adjustments that you want to promote.

According to the ’Legislation Law,’ there is only ’modification,’ not ’revision,’ but in legislative practice, the modification of laws is divided into ’revising’ and ’amending.’

Amending involves smaller changes, and the added clauses cannot affect the effectiveness of the other clauses.

Revising, however, means comprehensive and holistic changes.

For example, our new ’Fire Protection Law’ is a revision, adding and changing many contents, even altering the legislative principles, so the entire approval process is quite lengthy.

Local regulations only have the power to amend. First, you must consider whether the clauses you add affect the effectiveness of the ’Firefighting Law’ clauses, and then comes the issue of the extent of the additions.

There’s a lot of intricacies here. Sometimes a single word change can lead to a significant shift.

For example, if in the Fire Protection Law it mentions ’public security government agencies and their firefighting organizations,’ what if that ’their’ is omitted? The affiliation would change, independence would emerge, and of course, the closeness would decrease."

Fang Huai nodded in realization.

So, that would mean the omission of the word ’their’ between the emergency management department and the firefighting rescue organizations in the 2019 "Firefighting Law" signifies the independence of the firefighting authorities.

Also, because of the missing ’their,’ the firefighting services would be more distanced from the emergency management department than they originally were from the public security system.

Fang Huai originally thought that after the restructuring in his previous life, the emergency management department couldn’t manage firefighting like the public security used to due to the level of management, but it turns out there was a legal basis for this. frёewebηovel.cѳm

Seeing Fang Huai’s expression, Cao Gang felt a touch of pride in enlightening someone else and continued:

"So, modifying laws and regulations requires high professionalism. You need to have a strong grasp of many special terms and also attention to detail.

Let’s put it this way, a smart person can downgrade a ’revision’ to an ’amendment’ while achieving almost the same legal effectiveness. On the other hand, a fool might upgrade an ’amendment’ to a ’revision.’"

Upon hearing this, Fang Huai’s mind lit up.

So, there was a solution?

He immediately beamed, "Director Cao, you must be one of the smart ones!"

Cao Gang smiled and remained silent.

Lv Xianzhi finally coughed, "Old Cao, how troublesome is this matter?"

Only then did Cao Gang’s gaze shift as he spoke:

"The modification of a regulation certainly requires a lot of time, but since you, Old Lü, have asked, I must help. However, I have one condition."

Fang Huai immediately stood up, "What condition? Please, just name it!"

Cao Gang lifted the hot tea in his hand and took a sip.

"This regulation, Liaoning must also refer to it."
