O Gwang-rok, Gwangju Seo-gu Council Member, Original Proposal for 'Meeting Rules Amendment' Approved

Oh Gwang-rok, a member of the Seo-gu Council in Gwangju Metropolitan City, announced on the 17th that the "Partial Amendment to the Meeting Rules" was approved as originally proposed at the 311th Extraordinary Session Standing Committee.

The amendment includes ▲specifying that electronic documents can also be used when distributing documents ▲clarifying the plan for handling and reporting the results of 5-minute speeches ▲requiring the consent of the relevant standing committee if the Budget and Accounts Committee increases the budget cut by the standing committee by more than 50%.

With this amendment to the meeting rules, the responsibility of the executive branch for handling and reporting results related to members' 5-minute speeches and the role of the standing committee in budget review have been strengthened.

Additionally, by including electronic documents in document distribution, resource savings and increased efficiency in legislative activities can be achieved.

Councilor Oh stated, "Through this partial amendment to the meeting rules, efficient and smooth legislative activities for council members have become possible, and the effectiveness of standing committee budget reviews has been enhanced."
