[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Chaeseok] The Ministry of Government Legislation announced on the 3rd that it will provide legislative consulting for autonomous regulations to 89 basic local governments, including Seongnam-si and Changwon-si, this year.

The legislative consulting for autonomous regulations targets the enactment and revision proposals of ordinances drafted by basic local governments.

This is an autonomous legislative support system in which the Ministry of Government Legislation provides legal and legislative opinions regarding the relationship with higher laws, conformity to the scope of delegation, and the incorporation of easy-to-understand legal maintenance standards.

The Ministry of Government Legislation has been operating this since 2015, contributing to the preparation of autonomous regulations that have legal validity and formal completeness.

It has contributed to securing the legal and institutional foundation of autonomy and decentralization, blocking unreasonable local regulations, and strengthening the legislative capabilities of local government officials.

In 2017, the consulting target was limited to 30 local governments, 50 in 2018, and 60 last year. From this year, it plans to support all basic local governments that wish to participate.

Basic local governments that did not apply this time can also receive consulting anytime if they wish.

Until now, consulting was only supported for newly enacted or fully revised ordinance proposals, but it will be expanded to include partially revised ordinance proposals in the future.

Kim Hyung-yeon, head of the Ministry of Government Legislation, announced the target local governments for legislative consulting this year and stated, "We will provide consulting more actively so that local governments can prepare high-quality autonomous regulations and contribute to raising autonomy and decentralization to the next level."
