Seung-il Jeon, Gwangju Seo-gu Council Member, Receives Excellence Award for 'Outstanding Local Assembly Ordinance'

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Shin Dong-ho] Jeon Seung-il, a member of the Gwangju Metropolitan City Seo-gu Council, recently received the Excellence Award in the individual category at the 19th Local Council Excellent Ordinance Awards hosted by the Korean Local Autonomy Association.

The Korean Local Autonomy Association annually selects excellent ordinances among those proposed or revised by local council members nationwide to discover outstanding ordinances and promote practical development in the field of autonomous legislation.

The "Seo-gu Ordinance on Shared Use of Vehicles Equipped with Wheelchair Boarding Facilities for Mobility-Impaired Elderly" was enacted for the first time nationwide with the purposes of ▲family harmony and communication through leisure activities ▲expanding leisure participation of transportation-disadvantaged groups ▲and improving quality of life.

Since December last year, the ordinance was partially amended to expand the eligible users to include persons with disabilities, thereby guaranteeing the mobility rights of transportation-disadvantaged individuals.

Councilor Jeon said, "I feel proud that my legislative activities have been recognized through the selection of this excellent ordinance," and added, "I will continue to listen more, communicate more, and work harder to legislate ordinances that citizens can feel and need."
