附件：《威海市节约用水条例》第五十三条行政处罚裁量基准



威海市工业和信息化局

http://www.weihai.gov.cn/art/2022/12/26/art_103264_21935.html
一、起草背景和过程

《威海市节约用水条例》于2017年颁布实施，实施以来，对推动全市节约用水工作起到了积极的指导作用。为贯彻落实《 国务院办公厅关于进一步规范行政裁量权基准制定和管理工作的意见》，规范《威海市节约用水条例》第五十三条规定“违反本条例第二十条规定，用水单位和个人在生产经营过程中使用山东省明令淘汰的高耗水工艺、设备和产品的，由工业和信息化主管部门责令停止使用，限期更换或者进行节约用水改造；逾期未更换或者改造的，处一万元以上三万元以下罚款”设定的行政处罚事项裁量基准的制定和使用，促进严格规范公正文明执法，根据《山东省规范行政处罚裁量权办法》（省政府令第269号）及威海市司法局《关于规范地方性法规和政府规章设定行政处罚事项裁量基准的通知》等有关规定，市工业和信息化局制定了《<威海市节约用水条例>第五十三条行政处罚裁量基准》（以下简称《裁量基准》）。

二、主要内容

本《裁量基准》严格根据《山东省规范行政处罚裁量权办法》（省政府令第269号）及威海市司法局《关于规范地方性法规和政府规章设定行政处罚事项裁量基准的通知》要求制定，结合市工业和信息化局三定方案，及《威海市节约用水办法》条款中“逾期未更换或者改造的，处一万元以上三万元以下罚款”行政处罚范围，确定该项行政处罚的裁量基准。《裁量基准》共分两档：

（一）未按期完成更换或者改造，造成一般不良后果的处1万元以上2万元以下罚款；    （二）拒不更换或者改造，造成较重以上不良后果的处2万元以上3万元以下罚款。

三、主要原则

（一）坚持法制统一。行政裁量权基准的设定要于法于规有据，符合法律、法规、规章有关行政执法事项、条件、程序、种类、幅度的规定，充分考虑调整共同行政行为的一般法与调整某种具体社会关系或者某一方面内容的单行法之间的关系，做到相互衔接，确保法制的统一性、系统性和完整性。

（二）坚持程序公正。严格依照法定程序科学合理制定行政裁量权基准，广泛听取公民、法人和其他组织的意见，依法保障行政相对人、利害关系人的知情权和参与权。行政裁量权基准一律向社会公开，接受市场主体和人民群众监督。

（三）持公平合理。制定行政裁量权基准要综合考虑行政职权的种类，以及行政执法行为的事实、性质、情节、法律要求和本地区经济社会发展状况等因素，应确属必要、适当，并符合社会公序良俗和公众合理期待。要平等对待公民、法人和其他组织，对类别、性质、情节相同或者相近事项处理结果要基本一致。

（四）坚持高效便民。牢固树立执法为民理念，积极履行法定职责，简化流程、明确条件、优化服务，切实提高行政效能，避免滥用行政裁量权，防止执法扰民和执法简单粗暴“一刀切”，最大程度为市场主体和人民群众提供便利。

为规范《威海市山体保护条例》等设定的行政处罚事项裁量基准的制定和使用，促进严格规范公正文明执法，切实保障当事人的合法权益，市自然资源和规划局研究制定了《威海山体保护条例》等行政处罚裁量基准清单，现印发给你们，请认真遵照执行。

本通知自2023年1月15日起施行，有效期至2028年1月14日。

一、政策背景

行政处罚是行政执法部门行使的重要行政执法权，处罚裁量是否合理、适当，直接影响行政相对人的权益。建立行政处罚裁量基准制度，能够规范执法部门自由裁量权，切实保障地方性法规的正确实施，提高行政执法质量和公信力。为规范《威海市山体保护条例》《 威海市城市风貌保护条例》《威海市节约用水条例》等地方性法规设定的行政处罚事项裁量基准的制定和使用，促进严格规范公正文明执法，切实保障当事人的合法权益，市自然资源和规划局研究制定《威海山体保护条例》等行政处罚裁量基准清单（以下简称“裁量基准”）。

二、基本原则

行政处罚自由裁量权是在具体执法办案活动中客观存在的。裁量基准的制定考虑行政处罚的公平公正合理，同时兼顾行政执法的实际特点，在充分调研并听取各方意见的基础上，遵循以下原则：

（一）合法性原则。为了切实履行法定职责，《裁量基准》严格根据《中华人民共和国行政处罚法》《山东省规范行政处罚裁量权办法》等有关规定，在法规规定的处罚种类和幅度范围内划分不同阶次，未超越法定的自由裁量幅度和范围。

（二）合理性原则。实施裁量基准制度，是为了规范而非剥夺裁量权，《裁量基准》结合违法行为的事实、性质等对违法情节予以量化，对应相应违法程度，并统一罚款的量罚幅度标准。

（三）公平公正原则。建立裁量基准制度，执法人员可以依据情节对应的标准进行处罚，从源头上避免执法办案的随意性。当事人也可以按照违法情节对号入座，对执法人员自由裁量权的行使进行监督，确保行政处罚行为的公平、公正、合理。

三、主要内容

《裁量基准》对《威海市山体保护条例》中“擅自设立、移动、涂改或者损毁山体保护界桩或者标志牌的”“山体保护责任主体不制止或者报告破坏山体行为的”“逾期不履行修复治理责任，经催告仍不履行的”，《 威海市城市风貌保护条例》“在海岸带范围内破坏海湾、沙滩、潟湖、湿地、河口等特殊地形地貌以及自然景观的处罚”“在海岸带范围内破坏礁石和开挖山体、采石、采砂以及露天采矿的处罚”“在自然岸线保护范围内开挖山体、采石、采砂以及露天采矿的处罚”“未取得建设工程规划许可证或者未按照建设工程规划许可证的规定进行建设的处罚”及《威海市节约用水条例》“未经批准擅自开采地热水、矿泉水的”等8项违法行为具体裁量阶次和适用情形予以规定，保证行政处罚裁量权的正确行使，维护社会公平正义，保护公民、法人和其他组织的合法权益。
