Carrying a notebook and wearing a blue vest printed with the words "legislative contact point", Zhou Geng, a resident of Shijingpo street, Shapingba District, Chongqing, and his wife huangxueli have been busy shuttling through the streets recently to solicit legislative opinions and suggestions from the masses for the "Chongqing regulations on the administration of dog breeding" being formulated. How to regulate the behavior of not tying a dog's rope, and how to make the dog regulations "grow teeth", so as to effectively reduce the phenomenon of dogs hurting people? At each community, Zhou Geng and Huang Xueli would communicate with the cohabitants about relevant issues and keep records in their notebooks from time to time. Dog management concerns people's livelihood, and the society pays high attention to it. In the legislative stage, it is the main responsibility of Zhou Geng and Huang Xueli as information collectors of Shijingpo street to listen to the original voice of the people and convert "group words" into "French". There are more than 300 information collectors like them in the whole street. Since May, 2020, the Standing Committee of Chongqing Municipal People's Congress has successively set up 10 grass-roots legislative contact points in communities, colleges and universities, lawyers' associations, people's courts and other places in the city. Based on their own characteristics, each contact point puts forward suggestions on legislation with particular emphasis, and plays a "through train" role of reflecting people's conditions, listening to people's opinions, and gathering people's wisdom. The Central Bay community of Shijingpo street is one of the first grass-roots legislative contact points established. "The legislative point of contact is connected to the legislature at one end and the ordinary people at the other, which helps to promote the depth and breadth of grass-roots people's participation in legislation and make legislation more grounded and effective." Jiangxiaobo, director of the working committee of the people's Congress of Shijingpo street, said. During the operation of grassroots legislative contact points, information collectors play an important role as a link. Shijingpo Street selects more than 300 enthusiastic people from the residents under its jurisdiction and goes deep to the residents for advice. A reception hall of more than 3200 square meters was also built on the square in front of the residence of Zhongxin Bay community to attract community consultants, lawyers, legal professionals of co construction units and other professionals to form a team of professionals to provide support for summarizing and refining residents' suggestions. Although this is the first time to be an information collector, everyone is very serious about this work. Yaohuaquan, aged over 70, worked in state-owned enterprises in his early years and was enthusiastic about public affairs. Yaohuaquan said that every time he received a new draft regulation, he would first read through the full text, read the materials on the Internet to understand the original meaning, find out the points closely related to the masses and of interest to the masses, and then turn them into a language that everyone can understand. "What are your opinions on house demolition and expropriation? Let's talk together today." Yaohuaquan used this method to collect a lot of valuable suggestions when he participated in the collection of opinions on the regulations of Chongqing Municipality on housing expropriation and compensation on state owned land. In the past two years of operation, the grass-roots legislative contact point of Zhongxin Bay community has continuously established and improved its working mechanism, explored and formed six working methods of "three screening and three interpretation" (three screening and three interpretation), innovated and implemented the activity form of "open informal discussion", and also opened legislative symposiums, hearings and demonstration meetings into the courtyard dam and buildings. Last year, chenjiangang, deputy secretary of the Party branch of Chongqing Huishan Real Estate Development Co., Ltd., participated in the consultation on the regulations of Chongqing Municipality on the promotion of civilization. "I used to think that legislation was very far away. Now I think that legislation is very close and close to my home. This is the best 'sense of gain'." He said. Up to now, the grassroots legislative contact points of Central Bay have set up information collection points in 7 communities, 6 social units, 20 residential areas and 88 non-public economic and social organizations. They have completed the consultation on 20 laws and regulations, sorted out and reported 355 opinions and suggestions, and 37 of the published laws and regulations have been adopted and recognized. Zhongxin Bay community has also promoted the expansion of the functions of grassroots legislative contact points, which are integrated and promoted with the improvement of people's livelihood, social governance and the construction of the rule of law. In terms of promoting urban renewal and installing elevators in old residential areas, the community has mobilized information collectors to solicit opinions, lawyers and informants to provide legal guidance, actively solve the maximum common divisor of public opinion, and properly solve problems such as the transformation of old residential areas and the promotion of civilized behavior. "With the help of grass-roots legislative points of contact, a number of 'urgent difficulties and anxieties' have been advanced and solved. Even if the opinions of the masses can not be raised to legal provisions, they can be fully translated into practical' governance 'to make legislation for the people more warm and grass-roots governance more accurate."
