Omiseop, Gwangju Seo-gu Council Member, Receives Top Award in National Excellent Ordinance Evaluation

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Shin Dong-ho] On the 20th, it was announced that Oh Mi-seop, a member of the Gwangju Seo-gu Council, won the Grand Prize in the individual category at the '19th Excellent Ordinance of Local Councils' evaluation hosted by the Korean Local Autonomy Association.

The Korean Local Autonomy Association selects excellent ordinances annually targeting local councils to promote the development of legislative activities by council members.

The ordinance by Councilor Oh, which won the grand prize, titled 'Ordinance on Support for Youth Preparing for Independence in Seo-gu,' was enacted to establish an institutional foundation enabling youth preparing for independence to become healthy members of the community and integrate into society.

The ordinance includes practical and concrete support measures such as providing housing, living, education, and job opportunities for youth preparing for independence, as well as creating a support base and forming an independence support council involving the participants themselves.

In particular, during the preparation of the ordinance, Councilor Oh held meetings with youth preparing for independence together with fellow council members, collecting their opinions and consulting with colleagues to enact a community-based ordinance that includes practical support measures needed by the participants.

Councilor Oh said, "I am grateful that the selection of this excellent ordinance grand prize is not only an encouragement and support for me but also for the youth preparing for independence," and added, "I will continue to communicate more and strive to become a council member who creates ordinances necessary for the lives of citizens who are the subjects of policies."
