| Though the hearing system is regulated in China' Legislative Law, the specific content is not clear. Some provinces and cities try to construct the hearing system of legislation according to the practice, but their ways are not standardized and unified, there are also other problems in this field. Local legislation is very useful for the related legislative system of our country for it can supply good examples and good conditions, so it's necessary to construct the local legislative system gradually in advance. I have the opinion that we should construct the local legislative system by means of making good use of American correspond system. There are three parts mainly introduce the intention, distinguishing feature, source and function of legislative hearing. The paper also introduces the main contents of the procedure of legislative hearing and the practice of our country'. I also put forward my ideas of constructing local legislative hearing system of China.The first part demonstrates the intention, feature, source, function of legislative hearing and the main contents of the procedure of legislative hearing .Legislative hearing is the system that before the legislative body decide whether a legislative item should be drawn or whether the items should be adopted in the course of making and reviewing the draft, the legislative body adopts the related suggestions of the society by way of having the meeting publicly, and these suggestions will become important reference in the future. This system has four features. The first is it's a more public procedure. The second is it's a procedure of paying attention to the people' ideas. The third is it will get a lot reference.

The fourth is it's useful for discussing and reviewing the hearing objects publicly.There are mainly three procedures of hearing: preparing, hearing and after hearing. The second part introduces the laws and rules of legislation in China. It also introduces the practice of legislation in China.

The Administrative Penalties Law is the first law in China that regulates hearing system. Price law enlarges the extent of hearing, that is the act of regulating price by the government can be heard. The Administrative licensing Law regulates that hearing be the part of Administrative licensing. Hearing is regulated in the field of legislation by the Legislative Law later. Till the end of 2003, there are 18 provinces have made the local rules on the hearing procedure of legislation. There are a lot problems in hearing of local legislation. The first is these rules are not complete. The second is the principles of public, debate and democracy have not realized completely.

The fifth is the effects of the media are not taken seriously.In the third part, I put forward my ideas of local legislative hearing. The first is the principles of hearing.
