The Taiwan Provincial Consultative Council (TPCC) was the council of the streamlined Taiwan Province of the Republic of China. In July 2018, all duties of the Taiwan Provincial Government and TPCC were transferred to the National Development Council and other ministries of the Executive Yuan.
History
The body was originally established on 1 May 1946 as the Taiwan Provincial Council (臺灣省參議會). It was reorganized as the Taiwan Provisional Provincial Assembly (臺灣省臨時省議會) in December 1951, and formally reconstituted as the Taiwan Provincial Assembly (臺灣省議會) in June 1959. As all council members were democratically elected, until the 1991 National Assembly election and 1992 legislative election, it was the most recognized democratic legislature in Taiwan.
In 1996, President Lee Teng-hui decided to abolish most of the governmental functions of Taiwan Province. It was restructured as the Taiwan Provincial Consultative Council (臺灣省諮議會) with the streamlining of the Taiwan Provincial Government in 1998.
On 1 July 2018, by a resolution passed during the 3606th meeting of the Executive Yuan, all the remaining duties were transferred to the National Development Council and other ministries of the Executive Yuan. The transformations completed before 31 December 2018. However, the government maintained the position of Chairperson of the Taiwan Provincial Consultative Council to comply with the requirement set by the Additional Articles of the Constitution.
Council structure
Currently, the only official who serves in the council is the Chairperson of Taiwan Provincial Consultative Council.
The consultative council does not have any physical meeting place after all its functionalities were handed to the central government in 2018. Historically, the consultative council was located in Taipei from April 1946 to May 1958, and in Wufeng, Taichung County (now Taichung special municipality and not a part of Taiwan Province) from May 1958 to 2018.
