[Yeonggwang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jeonseong] Yeonggwang-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Kang Jongman) announced on the 21st that it was selected as the best institution for four consecutive years in the ‘2022 Regulatory Reform Evaluation’ hosted by Jeollanam-do on the 20th.

This Jeollanam-do evaluation comprehensively assessed 11 evaluation indicators in 6 areas for 22 cities and counties in the province: ▲discovering regulatory improvement proposal tasks ▲resolving regulatory difficulties through proactive administration ▲field-centered local regulation discovery ▲operation of regulatory reform systems ▲representative regulatory reform achievement cases ▲regulatory reform achievements (competition), selecting 9 cities and counties as excellent regulatory reform cities and counties.

The county operated a visiting regulatory reporting center and held a regulatory innovation idea contest to encourage active participation of public officials and residents in regulatory reform, and last month won an excellence award at the ‘Local Regulatory Innovation Best Practice Competition’ hosted by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety.

Also, to reform unreasonable regulations in quarterly focus themes (industry, small business owners, new industries, etc.) and residents’ daily lives, a total of 95 central law improvement tasks were proposed to central government departments, of which 17 were selected as key tasks, resulting in high scores for each evaluation indicator.

Governor Kang Jongman said, “We will continue to do our best for field-centered regulatory reform that residents and businesses can feel, so that unreasonable regulations do not become obstacles to regional growth and coexistence.”
