[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Kyung-pil] Wando-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Shin Woo-cheol) announced on the 21st that the 'Regulation Proof of Responsibility System,' which was actively introduced and implemented from the beginning of this year, is achieving concrete results.

To fully operate the Regulation Proof of Responsibility System, the county reorganized the Wando-gun Regulatory Reform Committee, in which private members constitute the majority, and began revising regulations within local ordinances by applying the system.

As a result, from January to the present, 208 regulations have been reviewed, and 24 have been improved.

The Regulation Proof of Responsibility System is a system where the responsible public official must prove the necessity of maintaining a regulation, rather than the public or companies proving the need for regulatory improvement. If the official fails to prove the necessity, the regulation is abolished or relaxed.

Looking at specific cases, the target for agricultural machinery rental applications at the Agricultural Technology Center was limited to "farmers residing in the county or farmers owning land," but it will be expanded so that anyone cultivating farmland in Wando-gun, regardless of their address, can rent agricultural machinery.

Regulations that lack a basis in higher laws or do not reflect amendments will also be revised.

In accordance with the higher law, the "Act on the Management of Outdoor Advertisements and the Promotion of the Outdoor Advertising Industry," the ordinance that required returning the registration certificate within 7 days after closing an outdoor advertising business and keeping records will be amended. Additionally, ordinances that required permits, unlike the "Act on Funeral Services" which stipulates reporting to the local government head when using funeral facilities, will be revised and are scheduled to be promulgated by the end of September.

Meanwhile, to solidify the Regulation Proof of Responsibility System and enhance the sense of improvement in field regulations, the county has opened and is operating a "Regulation Proof Request Window" on the county website, where anyone including residents and companies can request regulation proof.

Bong Jin-moon, Deputy Governor and Chairman of the Wando-gun Regulatory Reform Committee, said, "Through the Regulation Proof of Responsibility System, responsible public officials have had the opportunity to review regulations related to their duties from the perspective of residents and consider improvement measures. We will continue to strive to improve unreasonable regulations to resolve inconveniences for local residents and companies."
