Daejeon City Accelerates Regulation Discovery and Improvement with Dedicated Team Operation

Daejeon City is accelerating regulatory innovation through the operation of a dedicated team.

On the 23rd, Daejeon City announced that it held the "2023 Regulatory Innovation Task Discovery Report Meeting" chaired by Deputy Mayor Lee Taek-gu.

The report meeting was organized to discover regulations and proactively improve shadow and behavioral regulations for the smooth promotion of key projects in the 8th elected administration and the fostering of new industries.

Previously, Daejeon City operated special dedicated organizations for regulatory innovation by department to discover tasks reflecting field performance and current issues. In addition, improvements to shadow and behavioral regulations and local ordinances were submitted by affiliated organizations and autonomous districts.

The discovered agenda items include 63 suggestions to central government ministries and 12 improvements by Daejeon City itself, totaling 75 items.

By type, the regulatory innovation targets included 54 cases of legal amendments, 8 cases of administrative rule revisions, 6 cases of local ordinance amendments, and 7 other cases.

In particular, major regulatory innovation tasks highlighted at the report meeting included shortening processing periods by simplifying environmental impact assessment procedures for industrial complex development, expanding ancillary and subsidiary projects to activate private participation in urban railway projects, revising land compensation laws for garden site land, and easing exceptions to mandatory local talent employment.

Daejeon City plans to consider the urgency and ripple effects of each regulatory innovation task shared at the report meeting and submit recommendations to central government ministries through the Office for Government Policy Coordination and the Ministry of the Interior and Safety. Meanwhile, shadow and behavioral regulations and local ordinance improvement tasks will be reviewed by the relevant departments to ensure prompt improvements.

Deputy Mayor Lee Taek-gu of Daejeon City said, "For the achievement of core projects of the 8th elected administration of Daejeon City, to make Daejeon a business-friendly city and a city where citizens want to live, regulatory innovation must continue." He added, "The city will actively appeal the tasks discussed at the report meeting to the central government and promptly improve those that can be improved independently by the city."
