Jeon Nam-do Councilor Lim Jong-gi, Stop Population Drain Now

Establishment of Fair Distribution Principles for Jeollanam-do Adjustment Grants

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] The "Partial Amendment to the Jeollanam-do Adjustment Grant Distribution Ordinance," proposed by Jeollanam-do Assemblyman Lim Jong-gi, passed the plenary session review on the 28th.

According to Assemblyman Lim Jong-gi on the 29th, this ordinance changes the distribution 기준시점 of the amount corresponding to the population for Jeollanam-do adjustment grants from the current "December 31" to the "recent 6-month average population as of January 1 each year."

In the case of local allocation tax paid by the state to support the financial operation necessary for local governments' administrative operations, the enforcement decree sets January 1 each year as the 기준시점 for calculation, and the enforcement rules of the Local Allocation Tax Act set the population 기준시점 as the recent 6-month average.

However, the current population 기준시점 for the distribution of Jeollanam-do adjustment grants is based on the resident registration population as of "December 31 of the previous year," which causes some local governments to engage in excessive "population increase policies" among local governments at the end of each year, resulting in violations of the Resident Registration Act.

Assemblyman Lim Jong-gi pointed out, "Because the current Jeollanam-do adjustment grant distribution 기준시점 is set to 'December 31 of the previous year,' illegal activities such as false address registration are rampant at the end of each year."

Assemblyman Lim stated, "Through this ordinance amendment, I hope to correct the part where adjustment grant distribution was not properly conducted due to temporary phantom population at the end of the year, such as population diversion, and that more rational and fair administration will be executed, becoming another cornerstone for a just society."
