The benchmark of administrative discretion is the control rule that the administrative organ embodies the statutory discretion according to its power. In 2008，Shenzhen government promulgated Several Provisions of Shenzhen Municipality on Regulating the Discretionary Power of Administrative Punishment. Municipal and district government departments have formulated a large number of administrative discretion benchmark documents，mainly in the fields of administrative punishment and administrative licensing. At present，there are some outstanding problems in the formulation of administrative discretion benchmarks，such as inconsistent setting standards，imperfect setting procedures，and lack of changing rules. The improvement of the setting rules of administrative discretion benchmark needs to absorb the new provisions of the Administrative Punishment Law；unify the standards for setting administrative discretion benchmarks，the legal norms on which the same type of administrative discretion benchmarks are set should be consistent，and the consideration factors for illegal subjects，illegal circumstances，and illegal behavior methods should be roughly the same；improve the procedures for setting administrative discretion benchmarks，and establish the rules of administrative discretionary benchmark changes.
