Jeonnam Provincial Council

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jun-kyung] The Jeonnam Provincial Council announced on the 31st that it will hold the 353rd 1st regular session for 16 days from the 1st to the 16th of next month.

This regular session will review the settlement of accounts for the last fiscal year and approval of supplementary budget expenditures of the Jeonnam Provincial Government and Jeonnam Office of Education, as well as the first supplementary budget for 2021.

The scale of the supplementary budget is 10.4168 trillion won for the provincial government, which is an increase of 1.2146 trillion won from the original budget, and 3.8715 trillion won for the Office of Education, which is an increase of 225.2 billion won.

In particular, the provincial government submitted the supplementary budget proposal exceeding 1 trillion won for the first time, due to a significant increase in national treasury subsidy projects such as last year's heavy rain damage recovery costs and COVID-19 response.

The Jeonnam Provincial Council will begin full activities of the standing committees and the Special Committee on Budget and Accounts, including reviewing the settlement and supplementary budget proposals and ordinances, after receiving the first supplementary budget proposal explanation from Governor Kim Young-rok and Superintendent Jang Seok-woong on the 1st of next month.

The regular session will also handle various agenda items such as the "Proposal to Urge Expansion of Agricultural Product Purchase Support Project" led by Representative Choi Myung-soo, the "Partial Amendment to the Jeollanam-do Proposal System Operation Ordinance" led by Representative Jeong Ok-nim, the "Partial Amendment to the Jeollanam-do Social Economy Enterprise Product Purchase Promotion and Market Support Ordinance" led by Representative Jo Ok-hyun, the "Jeollanam-do Kimchi Industry Promotion and Development Ordinance" led by Representative Kim Seong-il, and the "Jeonnam Office of Education School Culture and Arts Education Promotion Ordinance" led by Representative Sa Soon-moon.
