Article 118 of the Constitution expressly stipulates that the self-governance of an special (Executive-Yuan-governed) municipality shall be prescribed by law. However, the abovementioned law has not yet been enacted, and the existing organization of special municipalities and the administration of local self-governance matters are governed by laws of the Central Government. To render the constitutional intent of local self-governance effective, there shall be enacted laws for the special municipalities’ self-governance, taking into consideration the practical circumstances. Until such laws are enacted, the existing laws of the Central Government shall remain in effect.
