　　In July 2015, the Legislative Affairs Commission of the NPC Standing Committee approved the first group of LLOO pilot institutions: the Hongqiao Sub-district Office in Shanghai, the Standing Committee of the Lintao County People＂s Congress in Gansu Province, the Standing Committee of the Jingdezhen Municipal People＂s Congress in Jiangxi Province, and the Standing Committee of the Xiangyang Municipal People＂s Congress in Hubei Province.
