Gimhae-si Regulatory Reform Committee to Revise 44 Regulations This Year

The 1st Committee Meeting Held, 2 Cases Reviewed and Adjusted

Gimhae City in Gyeongnam held its first Regulatory Reform Committee meeting of the year on the 6th.

According to the city on the 7th, two regulations were reviewed and adjusted at the 1st Regulatory Reform Committee meeting.

At the meeting, the committee reviewed ▲ the newly established provision to include medium-scale development projects under the Building Act as subjects for the cause-based charge in the "Ordinance on the Calculation and Collection of Water Supply Cause-Based Charges" ▲ and the regulation to strengthen the suspension criteria for water supply construction agency designation under the "Rules on Designation of Water Supply Construction Agency," examining their impact on citizens and the validity and appropriateness of the regulations.

The committee plans to systematically organize 66 regulations that have not been revised in the past five years in the first half of the year, and 44 regulations that significantly affect citizens' lives and business activities in the second half.

This year, amid the difficult local economy due to high inflation and high interest rates, the city is promoting regulatory reform under the theme of "Strengthening Regulatory Innovation through On-site Communication" to improve regulations that limit citizens' lives and business growth.

By operating a visiting Regulatory Reform Reporting Center and a Regulatory Reform Idea Contest, the city plans to continuously discover and propose unreasonable regulations to enhance the public's perception of regulatory reform.

When citizens request, the city implements a regulatory proof responsibility system to demonstrate the necessity of regulations, and last year, among 177 existing registration regulations in local ordinances, 49 were reviewed, resulting in the approval of improvements to 8 regulations.

Kim Seok-gi, the Vice Mayor and chairman of the committee, said, "We will do our best to ensure that the Regulatory Reform Committee serves as a stepping stone to open a breakthrough for Gimhae City's future growth."
