He said, "The Serious Accidents Punishment Act has various positions and many issues from all walks of life, but discussions have progressed through two subcommittee meetings of the Legislation and Judiciary Committee," adding, "If the ruling and opposition parties work together for in-depth discussions, a rational and effective bill can be prepared."


He continued, "I also ask the members of the Legislation and Judiciary Committee from both parties to speed up discussions so that there are no setbacks in legislation during this extraordinary session," and emphasized, "I hope the opposition leadership will actively work to pass the bill this week as promised to the people."



Regarding the Living Logistics Act, Floor Leader Kim added, "The Living Logistics Act, which will be the first step to protect essential workers, urgently needs legislation to improve the working environment of delivery workers," and stated, "Since it has passed the Land, Infrastructure and Transport Committee, it must be handled at this plenary session."
