History

Taiwan Provincial Consultative Council was originally established on 1 May 1946 as Taiwan Representative Council. It was renamed Provisional Taiwan Provincial Council in December 1951 and Taiwan Provincial Council in June 1959. As all council members were democratically elected, until 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 reconstituted as Taiwan Provincial Consultative Council with the streamlining of the Taiwan Provincial Government in 1998.

On July 1, 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.{{cite web|url=http://www.tpg.gov.tw/|title=Taiwan Provincial Government Official Website|accessdate=17 July 2018|archive-date=29 January 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190129130923/http://www.tpg.gov.tw/|url-status=dead}} The transformations completed before 31 December 2018. However, the government will keep the position of Chairman Speaker of 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 Chairman Speaker 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.
