[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Hapcheon-gun, Gyeongnam announced on the 5th that it will actively promote the ‘On-site Communication, Proactive Administration! 2021 Regulatory Innovation Plan.’

The county aims to systematically implement the regulatory innovation plan with the goal of ‘achieving regulatory innovation results that residents can feel,’ and plans to challenge the Ministry of the Interior and Safety’s ‘Local Regulatory Innovation Excellent Institution Certification System,’ striving to become a leading local government in regulatory reform throughout this year.

First, for the purpose of improving unreasonable administrative regulations, the county will implement the ‘Regulation Proof Responsibility System,’ which abolishes or relaxes regulations if the regulatory department fails to prove the necessity of maintaining the regulation.

When establishing or strengthening regulations, the county plans to revise ‘administrative registration regulations’ by requiring a ‘regulation review’ process.

To discover regulations through close resident participation on-site, a ‘Hapcheon-type Regulatory Case Study Group’ involving companies and residents will be newly established, and a ‘Zero Livelihood Regulation, Visiting Regulation Reporting Center’ will be operated.

Each department will review excellent regulatory reform cases from other local governments and reflect them according to the county’s circumstances, actively working to improve regulations that hinder residents’ lives and business operations.

County Governor Moon Jun-hee said, “Change and development in administration start with regulatory innovation and proactive administration,” adding, “We will proactively and boldly promote regulatory reform to revive the stagnant local economy and strive to make the county a better place to live.”
