我国反对家庭暴力地方法规、政策比较研究

我国有27个省、自治区、直辖市制定实施了反对家庭暴力的地方法规或文件。通过对这些地方法规和文件的比较分析可以发现,各地在界定家庭暴力概念、明确法规实施主体、规定举证责任、进行首问责任制等方面进行了积极的尝试,为反家暴工作的开展提供了重要依据。同时,地方性法规和政策的天然不足和相互间的差异,又迫切呼唤国家出台专门法律以及相关方面对若干法律问题做更加深入的研究论证。     

The effect of state regulations on the quality and sale of insurance policies to Medicare beneficiaries

This paper examines the effects of state regulations on the quality of insurance policies sold to Medicare beneficiaries and on the amount of sales abuse reported in the sale of such policies. State regulations regarding such policies relate to policy content and format, minimum rates of return, sale of these policies related to disclosure requirements, consumer information activities, and penalties for agent and company abuse. This paper examines the impact of specific regulations on the ratio of the expected policy benefits per premium dollars and on the number and kind of abusive sales practices reported by purchasers and nonpurchasers in agent and mail sales. The study finds that loss ratio floors, minimum benefit standards, and the development of states of consumer information guides for prospective policyholders have a positive impact on the quality of the policies purchased. In addition, the study finds that the amount of abuse reported is less when insurance companies routinely issue press releases concerning agent or company misrepresentation and when consumer guides are developed and available from the state.     

Revision of requirements applicable to albumin (human), plasma protein fraction (human), and immune globulin (human). Food and Drug Administration, HHS. Final rule

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending the biologics regulations by removing, revising, or updating specific regulations applicable to blood derivative products to be more consistent with current practices and to remove unnecessary or outdated requirements. FDA is taking this action as part of the agency's "Blood Initiative" in which FDA is reviewing and revising, when appropriate, its regulations, policies, guidance, and procedures related to blood products, including blood derivatives.     

Revision of requirements applicable to albumin (human), plasma protein fraction (human), and immune globulin (human); companion document to direct final rule. Food and Drug Administration, HHS. Proposed rule

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing to amend the biologics regulations by removing, revising, or updating specific regulations applicable to blood derivative products to be more consistent with current practices and to remove unnecessary or outdated requirements. FDA is taking this action as part of the agency's "Blood Initiative" in which FDA is reviewing and revising, when appropriate, its regulations, policies, guidance, and procedures related to blood products, including blood derivatives. This proposed rule is a companion document to the direct final rule published elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register. FDA is taking this action because the proposed changes are noncontroversial and FDA anticipates that it will receive no significant adverse comment.     

Special report on patient care. The new federal patient-dumping regulations: some commonly asked questions and answers

Until both providers and government surveyors become more familiar with the new EMTALA regulations, there will be an uncomfortable period of adjustment, and perhaps some turmoil as well, particularly regarding the new requirement that facilities who receive suspicious transfers report those transfers to HCFA. Providers should carefully examine their internal policies on discharge and transfer of emergency patients to assure that those policies are consistent with the new regulations. Particular attention should be given to inservice training for medical and support personnel in the emergency department, because they must precisely comply with the law and their errors can subject the hospital to costly investigations and potential fines of $50,000 for each violation.     

多元的物权法源及其适用规律

从我国物权的立法、司法、交易等实践情况来看,我国的物权法源是多元的。在属于规范性法律文件的法源中,国家立法机构制定的物权法等狭义法律是核心,它们的位阶平等,相互间存在替代、细化、补充等关系。狭义法律之外的其他规范性法律文件,包括行政法规、地方性法规、没有变通规定的自治条例、单行条例或经济特区法规、司法解释、部门规章、地方政府规章,解释和细化了狭义法律,在不违背狭义法律目的的前提下,给物权内容提供了重要支撑。规范性法律文件所认可的法源包括国家有关规定或国务院的有关规定以及当事人订立的合同。在上述法源之外,习惯与物权法的根本宗旨、基本定位、整体风格、相关规定等高度契合,在无其他法源可供适用时起到补充作用。中国共产党的政策在农村土地物权领域发挥着重要作用,在它与狭义法律不一致时,承载基本政策和具体政策的党中央文件可作为法院裁判说理的依据.但不能成为裁判依据。     

Protection of human subjects--Department of Energy. Proposed rule

Executive Order 12044 sets forth a program of regulatory reform to be followed by all executive departments. One element of that program is periodic review of existing regulations. The Department of Energy is committed to review all of its existing regulations within five years, on schedule set forth in the Federal Register for May 8, 1980, 45 FR 30448. As part of that commitment, the Department has reexmained the regulations contained in 10 CFR Part 745. These regulations deal with the protection of human subjects in research activities supported by the Department. In this notice, we are proposing regulations that will supersede the existing requirements. These proposed regulations are intended substantially to duplicate the policies and procedures proposed by the Department of Health and Human Services on August 14, 1979 (44 FR 47688). The primary responsibility for adequate review and approval to protect human subjects of research activities sponsored by the Department of Energy is placed on the institution that receives, or is accountable to the Department, for the funds awarded.     

Rule of Law against the Odds: Overcoming Poverty and the High Cost of Compliance in the Developing World

The sociolegal compliance literature, which suggests that compliance is motivated by fear, duty, or social license pressure, relies on assumptions that are often specific to the developed world. Are developing world conditions, including low state capacity, not conducive to regulatory compliance? Along the open India–Nepal border, I examine variation in compliance with wood‐taking regulations in contiguous conservation areas located in different countries. I find that widespread poverty, which makes the cost of compliance for large swaths of the population extraordinarily high, significantly reduces compliance rates. I go on to show that there are policies that even cash‐strapped, weakly‐institutionalized states can adopt that make compliance more affordable. These policies, and the resulting programs, are associated with much higher levels of compliance.     

Medicaid program; limitations on provider-related donations and health care-related taxes; limitations on payments to disproportionate share hospitals--HCFA. Final rule

This final rule clarifies HCFA's policies concerning provider related donations and health care related taxes. In addition, this final rule revises regulations with regard to disproportionate share hospital spending limitations. This final rule amends an interim final rule that was published in the Federal Register on November 24, 1992. The interim final rule established in Medicaid regulations limitations on Federal financial participation (FFP) in State medical assistance expenditures when States receive funds from provider-related donations and revenues generated by certain health care-related taxes. The interim final rule also added provisions that establish limits on the aggregate amount of payments a State may make to disproportionate share hospitals for which FFP is available. The provisions of the interim final rule were required by the Medicaid Voluntary Contribution and Provider Specific Tax Amendments of 1991.     

民间投资在我国发展的问题与对策

改革开放20多年来,民间投资在我国已经有了很大的发展,但由于受思想观念、政策法规、体制环境以及民间投资自身因素的制约,民间投资在我国的完全发展仍然存在诸多障碍,应采取有力措施逐步解决这些问题,以最终形成适应市场经济要求的民间投资发展状态。     

刑事侦查政策述评

中国侦查政策内容十分丰富,但政策存在明显不足或者缺陷,并导致侦查政策和法制功能弱化。应当深刻变革侦查政策与侦查法律之间的关系,使书面法律真实化、生活化,幕后侦查权力公开化,侦查权力运行有序化;革除超级侦查强权和法外侦查权,建立"充分但有限,规范而高效"的现代侦查权和侦查法制模式,保持侦查权力与控制、惩罚犯罪和保护个人权利之间的平衡。应当实现刑事侦查政策及其理论的革新和转型,重构刑事侦查政策,实现侦查政策法治化。     

Medical loss ratio requirements under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Final rule with comment period

Special report on labor and employment. The Department of Labor issues final regulations for the federal Family and Medical Leave Act

The FMLA is a complicated and comprehensive regulatory scheme, and it is impossible to review any but the most basic provisions in this article. The final regulations provide very detailed guidance on such issues as benefits continuation, reinstatement rights, notice requirements, and enforcement measures. Personnel policies and practices must be revised to be consistent with these final regulations, and care must be taken that leave policies do not restrict rights under the FMLA or unintentionally create expanded leave rights. In complying with the FMLA, employers must also keep in mind that there are complex interplays between the federal FMLA, state laws that provide family and medical leave, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and state workers' compensation laws, that can require expert advice depending on the particular circumstances.     

科技政策、行政规则与司法审查

现代国家中,立法机关对于科技政策法案往往无法作详细的规定,而委诸行政机关以行政立法或行政规则作进一步的规范,而且这类规范会随着科技的发展或研究的最新发现,作相应的调整。在此情况之下,此类科技性规范性文件的制定程序、参与主体、司法审查可能性及其审查密度等问题,均值得研究。本文以司法审查为研究重点,介绍美国的经验,期望对中国能有所借鉴。     

Revision of requirements applicable to albumin (human), plasma protein fraction (human), and immune globulin (human). Food and Drug Administration, HHS. Direct final rule

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending the biologics regulations by removing, revising, or updating specific regulations applicable to blood derivative products to be more consistent with current practices and to remove unnecessary or outdated requirements. FDA is issuing these amendments directly as a final rule because the agency believes they are noncontroversial and that there is little likelihood that there will be comments opposing the rule. Elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register, FDA is publishing a proposed rule under FDA's usual procedures for notice and comment in the event the agency receives any significant adverse comments. If any significant adverse comment is received sufficient to terminate the direct final rule within 30 days after the comment period ends, FDA will consider such comments on the proposed rule in developing the final rule. FDA is issuing this rule as part of the agency's "blood initiative" in which FDA is reviewing and revising, when appropriate, its regulations, policies, guidance, and procedures related to blood products, including plasma derivatives.     

竞争政策规制与多边规则

当世界贸易大量增长,跨国投资快速增加,多国性企业逐渐在国际经济活动中扮演重要角色之后,贸易法和竞争法传统上互不跨越之界限早已不复存在。在国际社会已对贸易立法进行了多边规制之时,结合贸易、竞争政策和国内放松管制之间的互补关系,对竞争政策规制与多边规则进行探析具有一定的现实意义。
