According to the explanatory report, the increase in the number of supreme-level prosecutors aims to match the number of judges at the supreme people's court, ensuring sufficient personnel for prosecution and supervision of trials at the council of judges. The proposal has been reported to the politburo, the secretariat, and has been agreed upon by the central executive committee.

The law also stipulates a streamlined model for the people's procuracy system, including: the supreme people's procuracy, the provincial-level people's procuracies (provinces and cities), the regional people's procuracies, and the military procuracies at all levels. Accordingly, district-level people's procuracies will no longer be maintained.

The supreme people's procuracy has the function of exercising the right of prosecution, supervising judicial activities, and ensuring strict and uniform compliance with the law. Provincial and regional procuracies perform corresponding tasks within their localities or assigned areas.

The supreme people's procuracy consists of the chief procurator, deputy chief procurators, prosecutors, inspectors; heads and deputy heads of investigative agencies, investigators, investigative officers, forensic technicians, public employees, officials, and laborers.

Regional people's procuracies have a chief procurator, deputy chief procurators, prosecutors, inspectors, and support staff. In places where conditions do not allow for the establishment of departments, specialized working units are arranged.
