Since the reform and opening up, China's construction of the rule of law in coal has also increased the country's coal production, realized the mechanization of coal production, and provided a strong impetus for China's industrial development. By summarizing the development process of the construction of coal laws, the development direction of the construction of coal legal system in the new era has been pointed out.

With the in-depth development of reform and opening up, the gradual establishment of the socialist market economic system and operational mechanism, coal legislation has become active, and the prototype of the legal system based on the Coal Law has been initially established.
