China's top legislature will deliberate a draft proposal to amend seven laws, including the Prison Law, and review a report on the qualifications of certain lawmakers during a bimonthly session scheduled for next week.

The National People's Congress Standing Committee, the nation's top legislature, will convene a session from Oct 23-26 in Beijing, according to a decision made at a meeting of the NPC Standing Committee on Monday.

Insiders said the draft proposal to amend seven laws, including the Prison Law, will be small-scale and aims to update the stipulations to coordinate with the Amendment to the Criminal Procedure Law, which is due to take effect on Jan 1.
