Laws

The city government introduced a good samaritan law in 2013, which intends to protect potential good samaritans from being scammed by people pretending to be victims. [4] This was the first such law passed by a municipal government in mainland China. [5] In 2020 the city passed the "Shenzhen Special Economic Zone Regulations on the Comprehensive Ban on Wild Animals", effective May 1 of that year, which also banned eating cats, dogs, and several other species, also making it the first in mainland China.

Paid leave became legally required in November 2020. [7]
