National Assembly Steering Subcommittee Approves Sejong Assembly Hall Installation Act... Bipartisan Agreement Reached

[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Ju-yeon] A bill to amend the National Assembly Act to establish a branch of the National Assembly building in Sejong City passed the standing committee subcommittee on the 24th.

On that day, the National Assembly Steering Committee's Operations Improvement Subcommittee approved the amendment to the National Assembly Act, which states "to establish the Sejong Assembly Hall as a branch of the National Assembly in Sejong Special Self-Governing City," through bipartisan agreement.

Considering constitutional controversy, the clause "to establish the National Assembly Sejong Assembly Hall in Sejong City" was revised and processed as "to establish the Sejong Assembly Hall as a branch of the National Assembly."

The attached opinion included the phrase "The National Assembly Secretariat shall promptly establish a basic plan for the construction of the Sejong Assembly Hall using the 2021 design budget."

The Steering Committee plans to hold a plenary session in the afternoon to review and approve the amendment bill.
