On the 27th, the Ministry of Government Legislation announced that it will provide integrated access to over 350 regulations from 67 public institutions through the National Law Information Center. This is to accurately and efficiently provide public institution regulations, which are a type of legal information, in accordance with the Act on Management and Provision of Legal Information enacted and enforced last December.


For example, to find regulations on electricity and gas fee reductions, previously one had to check each institution's website, such as KEPCO and city gas companies, individually. Now, the National Law Information Center allows users to easily check discount criteria and limits.
