[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Sancheong-gun, Gyeongnam announced on the 23rd that it has collectively revised unnecessary and unreasonable local ordinances that had not been improved and caused inconvenience to residents.

This collective revision was made by discovering difficult terms and inconsistent cited laws through a thorough internal investigation based on the improvement tasks recommended by the Ministry of Government Legislation and the Ministry of the Interior and Safety.

The county changed terms to make local residents read local ordinances more easily and prevent confusion in interpretation.

The main amendments include ▲ standardizing Japanese-style Sino-Korean words into standard Korean ▲ updating titles and numbers of cited laws that were inconsistent with higher laws or related laws ▲ and revising other terms inconsistent with higher laws.

The county had already completed 100% revision of 68 collaborative tasks with the Ministry of the Interior and Safety discovered in 2018-2019 last November.

The 36 ongoing revision tasks for local ordinances inconsistent with laws in collaboration with the Ministry of Government Legislation are expected to be completed by the end of the year.

A county official stated, “We have additionally discovered about 50 revision tasks through the Ministry of Government Legislation and our own efforts, and plan to promote another collective revision in the first half of next year,” adding, “We will continue to strive to create local ordinances that are easy for residents to understand.”
