Summary

(1)　 The Director of the Fujian Provincial Department of Justice, Lin Mei-ru, and other vice directors, secretary general, and committee members, I have been entrusted by the Fujian Provincial Government to explain the draft amendments to the two local regulations, "Fujian Provincial Agricultural Machinery Management Regulations" and "Fujian Provincial Road Transport Regulations".

(2)　 Firstly, the amendments to the "Fujian Provincial Agricultural Machinery Management Regulations". The regulations have been in effect since June 1, 1999, and have been revised twice. However, the regulations' provisions on agricultural machinery management have been inconsistent with the national regulations, specifically Article 21 of the State Council's "Agricultural Machinery Safety Supervision and Management Regulations". The national regulations only require the registration and certification of tractors and combine harvesters, but not other types of agricultural machinery. Therefore, the regulations have been amended to align with the national regulations, specifically Article 14, which now only requires the registration and certification of tractors and combine harvesters.

(3)　 Secondly, the amendments to the "Fujian Provincial Road Transport Regulations". The regulations have been in effect since January 1, 2014, and have played an important role in maintaining the order of the road transport market, ensuring road safety, and protecting the legitimate rights and interests of all parties involved in the road transport industry. However, due to the frequent amendments to the national regulations, some provisions in the provincial regulations are no longer consistent with the national regulations. Specifically, the market access conditions for road freight transport stations (yards), vehicle maintenance businesses, driver training, and small micro passenger car rental businesses have been changed from license to registration. To further optimize the business environment and integrate into the national unified market, nine articles in the regulations need to be amended. The amendments will not change the original framework of the regulations, which consists of seven chapters and 78 articles.

(4)　 The amendments include:

(5)　 1. Article 39 of the national regulations has changed the market access requirements for road freight transport stations (yards), vehicle maintenance businesses, and driver training from license to registration. Therefore, Articles 35 and 44 of the provincial regulations have been amended to change the access requirements for these businesses from license to registration, and the second paragraph of Article 44 has been deleted.

(6)　 2. The State Council's decision to cancel the requirement for driver training instructors to obtain a qualification certificate (Decision No. 9 of the State Council, 2016) has been implemented. Therefore, the eighth item of Article 44 has been deleted, which prohibited the hiring of unqualified personnel for training activities.

(7)　 3. To further optimize the business environment, the regulations on small micro passenger car rental businesses have been changed from license to registration (Article 35). Therefore, the second paragraph of Article 46 has been deleted, which specified the permit conditions and procedures for automobile rental businesses; Articles 48 and 49 have been deleted, which specified the regulations on rental car certificates; and Articles 70 and 71 have been deleted, which specified the legal responsibilities for violating the permit regulations.

(8)　 4. The amendments also include changes to the legal responsibilities section. Firstly, to resolve the difficulties in applying the law in administrative enforcement practices due to social changes, a new clause has been added to Article 65, which states that if a behavior violates the regulations and the law or administrative regulations have already specified the legal responsibilities, the latter shall be followed. Secondly, the illegal activities listed in Article 69 have been deleted, as they are already covered by the national regulations and departmental rules, and will not create a management vacuum.

(2)　 主任、各位副主任、秘书长、各位委员：

(3)　 我受福建省人民政府委托，现就《〈福建省农业机械管理条例〉〈福建省道路运输条例〉两项地方性法规修正案（草案）》作如下说明。

(4)　 一、《福建省农业机械管理条例》的修改内容

(5)　 《福建省农业机械管理条例》（以下简称《条例》）自1999年6月1日起施行，经两次修订，为维护农业机械所有者、经营者、使用者的合法权益，加强我省农业机械管理发挥了重要作用。国务院《农业机械安全监督管理条例》第二十一条明确规定：“拖拉机、联合收割机投入使用前，其所有人应当按照国务院农业机械化主管部门的规定，持本人身份证明和机具来源证明，向所在地县级人民政府农业机械化主管部门申请登记。拖拉机、联合收割机经安全检验合格的，农业机械化主管部门应当在2个工作日内予以登记并核发相应的证书和牌照”，仅对拖拉机和联合收割机进行牌证管理。我省《条例》规定实行牌证管理的农业机械范围与上位法规定不一致，明显滞后不适合继续适用。因此，对我省《条例》第十四条进行相应修改，即将第十四条第一款修改为：“农业机械管理部门对拖拉机和联合收割机实行牌证管理”，并删除第二款。

(6)　 二、《福建省道路运输条例》的修改内容

(7)　 《福建省道路运输条例》（以下简称《条例》）自2014年1月1日起施行，为维护我省道路运输市场秩序，保障道路运输安全，保护道路运输有关各方当事人的合法权益，推进道路运输业的健康发展发挥了重要作用。近年来，由于《中华人民共和国道路运输条例》的多次修改，《条例》的部分条款与上位法存在不一致且明显滞后不适合继续适用的情形，如道路货物运输站（场）经营、机动车维修经营、机动车驾驶员培训、小微型客车租赁经营等领域的市场准入条件已由许可改为备案。为进一步优化我省营商环境，更好地融入全国统一大市场，亟需对《条例》中9个条款进行修改，修改后原体例框架不变，合计七章、共七十八条。

(8)　 （一）《中华人民共和国道路运输条例》第三十九条，已将从事道路货物运输站（场）经营、机动车维修经营、机动车驾驶员培训等领域的市场准入由许可改为备案，为此，将《条例》第三十五条、第四十四条中道路货物运输站（场）经营、机动车维修经营、机动车驾驶员培训、机动车驾驶员培训机构的准入由许可改为备案，相应删去第四十四条第二款。

(9)　 （二）《国务院关于第二批取消152项中央指定地方实施行政审批事项的决定》（国发〔2016〕9号），取消“机动车驾驶培训教练员从业资格认定”的要求，因此，删去第四十四条第八项教练员的聘用条件中“不得聘用未取得《教练员证》的人员从事培训活动”的要求。

(10)　 （三）为进一步优化营商环境，对照《小微型客车租赁经营服务管理办法》相关规定，将《条例》中从事小微型客车租赁经营的管理由许可改为备案（第三十五条）。因此，删去第四十六条第二款汽车租赁经营许可条件和程序要求；删去第四十八条、第四十九条中关于《租赁汽车证》的相关规定；相应删去第七十条、第七十一条中违反许可的法律责任规定。

(11)　 （四）关于法律责任部分。一是为解决因社会情况变化带来的行政执法实践中遇到的法律适用选择难题，更好地打击违法行为，增加一条“违反本条例规定的行为，法律、行政法规对法律责任已有规定的，从其规定。”（第六十五条）；二是鉴于《条例》第六十九条列举的违法情形在《中华人民共和国道路运输条例》及交通运输部规章中都有相应的法律责任规定，可直接适用，不会造成管理真空，因此删去第六十九条。

(12)　 《〈福建省农业机械管理条例〉〈福建省道路运输条例〉两项地方性法规修正案（草案）》及以上说明是否妥当，请审议。
