Plaque Ceremony for Excellent Institution in Local Regulation Innovation

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Hapcheon-gun, Gyeongnam Province held a certification plaque ceremony for the ‘2021 Local Regulatory Innovation Excellent Institution’ at the county office main building on the 5th.

This plaque ceremony was held in accordance with the Ministry of the Interior and Safety’s ‘2021 Local Regulatory Innovation Excellent Institution Certification.’ The county was finally selected as an excellent institution in November last year and received a certificate, a plaque, and a financial incentive of 100 million won.

The ‘Local Regulatory Innovation Excellent Institution Certification System’ is an evaluation system implemented since 2018 to strengthen the regulatory innovation capabilities of local governments. It verifies and evaluates performance through 20 diagnostic indicators to select excellent institutions.

In the 2021 evaluation, the county earned high scores across all indicators, including ▲ operation of a visiting regulatory reporting center and public-private regulatory case study meetings ▲ public contest for regulatory innovation tasks ▲ revision of autonomous regulations ▲ provision and promotion of regulatory information ▲ collaboration with central government ministries, recognizing its efforts in regulatory innovation. Among newly certified local governments, Hapcheon-gun was honored with the Presidential Institutional Award representing the county sector.

With this certification, Hapcheon-gun will maintain its status as an excellent institution in regulatory innovation until 2024. Since re-certification is required after three years, thorough follow-up management is also planned.

The county has made efforts for regulatory reform that residents can feel, driven by the strong will of the head of the institution regarding regulatory innovation. Following the Ministry of the Interior and Safety’s certification as an excellent institution in local regulatory innovation, Hapcheon-gun has achieved results in various regulatory innovation fields, including winning awards at the Gyeongnam Province Regulatory Innovation Competition, establishing itself as a leading local government in regulatory innovation.

County Governor Moon Jun-hee said, “Today’s achievement is thanks to the public officials who worked hard to discover and improve unreasonable regulations and the residents who joined forces,” adding, “We will continue to actively strive for regulatory reform so that regulations do not become obstacles to regional growth and residents’ lives.”
