The Bozhou Municipal Government attaches great importance to it and immediately instructs the Municipal Health Commission to seriously investigate. The relevant information is hereby answered as follows: On November 19, 2021, the 30th meeting of the Standing Committee of the 13th People's Congress of Anhui Province voted to pass the "Anhui Provincial Population and Family Planning Regulations (Draft Amendment Voting Draft)", which will come into force on January 1, 2022.

Another netizen message: Please ask, is it a child born after New Year's Day to enjoy the new regulations, or can those born from today to before New Year's Day enjoy new maternity leave and nursing leave?

Anhui Provincial Health Commission (Provincial Bureau of Traditional Chinese Medicine) replied: Regarding the implementation of parental leave involved in Article 32 of the newly revised Anhui Provincial Population and Family Planning Regulations (hereinafter referred to as the "Regulations"), it can only be determined after the guidance on specific issues of the Regulations being formulated in our province is issued.
