Lawmakers have filed 462 motions to the secretariat of the fourth session of the 12th National People's Congress (NPC), an official said Sunday.

一名官员上周日表示，在十二届全国人大四次会议期间，代表共向大会秘书处提交了462件议案

According to Kong Ping, an official with the secretariat, 442 concerned legislation for issues such as the market economy, cultural reform, anti-corruption, environment and law enforcement. The remaining motions were about the NPC supervision and other resolutions.

会议秘书处官员孔平表示，其中442件议案涉及市场经济、文化改革、反腐、环境以及法律实施等方面的立法问题。其余议案主要围绕人大监督及其他议题。

Last year, 522 motions were filed. Since NPC deputies were first tasked with raising motions at the annual session in 1983, the number increased sharply from 61 in that year to a peak of 1,374 in 2004. It has remained around 500 since 2005.

去年，秘书处共收到议案522件。自从全国人大代表在1983年的年度会议上首次负责筹集议案开始，这一数字迅速增长，从当年的61件案例迅速上升到2004年的1374件，这一数字也是历史最高。自2005年以来，这一数字维持在500件左右。

"The quality of motions this year is fairly good. About 68 percent of them have been informed by surveys, inspections or interviews," Kong said.

孔平称："本届大会代表提出的议案总体质量较高，约68%的议案是通过调研、视察或走访的方式形成的。"

Motions from NPC deputies can be legally binding if they are adopted. The secretariat also received around 8,600 proposals from NPC deputies, which are less formal and will not be legally binding.

如果这些人大代表提出的议案被采纳，那么它们都将会具有法律约束力。大会秘书处还收到了来自人大代表的8600多条代表建议。这些建议相对来说就不那么正式且不具有法律约束力。

The deadline for submitting motions and suggestions was midnight Friday.

代表提交议案和建议的截止日期是周五凌晨0点。
