CHI CAC issued Provisions on the application of discretionary benchmarks for administrative penalties by CAC departments, to standardize administrative penalty practices, ensure fairness, and protect the legal rights of individuals and organizations.
Outline of Provisions
Discretionary benchmarks refer to detailed standards that quantify flexible legal provisions based on the nature, severity, harm, and intent of a violation.
CHI CAC departments must adhere to legal consistency, fairness, proportionality between offense and punishment, and the integration of punishment with education.
Penalties span five tiers of no, mitigated, lighter, ordinary, heavier, with ordinary penalties applied unless specific mitigating or aggravating factors warrant adjustment.
Local CHI CAC branches may set region-specific benchmarks, while higher-level authorities will oversee their application through inspections and case reviews.
