The State Administration for Market Regulation, which published the draft laws on its website late on Sunday (Nov 11), is soliciting public views up to Nov 25.
The document also proposes severe punishment for those who participate in illegal practices, such as the fabrication of data, or who impede investigations.
China has pledged to reform and improve vaccine production and management after recent scandals which involved a firm that fabricated production and inspection records and sold ineffective vaccines.
