The Standing Committee of the People's Congress of Hainan Province (abbreviated as the Standing Committee of the Hainan Provincial People's Congress) is the permanent body of the People's Congress of Hainan Province. It exercises the powers of the provincial people's congress when the plenary session is not in session. Its counterpart at the same administrative level is the Hainan Provincial CPPCC, which functions as a consultative body. [1]
After the founding of the People's Republic of China on October 1, 1949, according to the provisions of the Common Program, before local people's congresses were convened, local People's Representative Conferences composed through consultation exercised the powers of local people's congresses. In September 1950, the First Hainan People's Representatives Conference was held in Fucheng Town, Qiongshan County, where the Hainan People's Representatives Conference Consultative Committee was elected. [2]
Since Hainan Administrative Region was under the jurisdiction of Guangdong Province, according to the “General Regulations on the Organization of the People's Representative Conferences of Guangdong Province,” the First Hainan People's Representatives Conference established its Standing Committee during adjournment. During the Cultural Revolution, the people's congress system was disrupted, and its functions were taken over by revolutionary committees. [3]
In July 1979, the Second Session of the Fifth National People's Congress approved the establishment of standing committees for people's congresses at or above the county level. On August 10, 1982, the First Session of the Sixth People's Congress of Hainan Li and Miao Autonomous Prefecture elected the members of its Standing Committee. In January 1984, the Preparatory Group for the People's Congress of the Hainan Administrative Region was established. In May 1984, the People's Government of Hainan Administrative Region was established as a first-level local state administrative body. In June 1988, according to the Preparatory Group's report, the conditions for establishing the People's Congress of Hainan Province were not yet met. [4]
Following the decision adopted at the Second Session of the Standing Committee of the Seventh National People's Congress—"On the People's Representatives Conference of Hainan Province Exercising the Powers of the People's Congress of Hainan Province"—the First Hainan Provincial People's Representatives Conference was convened on August 25, 1988, and elected the Standing Committee of the People's Representatives Conference of Hainan Province to perform the functions of the provincial people's congress. In January 1993, the First Session of the First People's Congress of Hainan Province was held in Haikou, electing a 30-member Standing Committee, marking the formal establishment of the Standing Committee of the People's Congress of Hainan Province. On February 4, 1993, the Standing Committee officially erected its plaque in Haikou. [5]
