The Basic Administrative Act Will Be Organized and Presented to the People
Ministry of Legislation Announces Draft of 'Administrative Basic Act' for Legislation Notice on the 6th
[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Chaeseok] The Ministry of Government Legislation announced the draft of the "Basic Administrative Law," which serves as the principle and standard of administrative law that constitutes the majority of national laws, and plans to collect public opinions for 50 days.
The Ministry stated that it will collect public opinions for 50 days until the 25th of next month while announcing the draft Basic Administrative Law for legislative notice.
The Ministry explained that although administrative laws make up most of the national laws, there has been no basic law so far, making it difficult for public officials and citizens to understand the administrative law system.
It also anticipated that the chronic problem of having to revise hundreds of laws to improve a single system, due to similar systems being regulated differently in each law, would be somewhat improved through the enactment of the basic law.
The draft consists of 4 chapters and 51 articles. Specifically, it includes ▲ codification of principles and responsibilities of administration ▲ establishment of substantive standards regarding administrative dispositions ▲ systematization of similar and common systems ▲ resolution of legislative gaps in protecting citizens' rights and interests.
Kim Hyung-yeon, head of the Ministry of Government Legislation, said, "By enacting the Basic Administrative Law, we will reduce arbitrary and passive law enforcement," and added, "It is expected to enhance public trust in administration and respond swiftly to regulatory innovation."
