"Seeking Regulatory Innovation Ideas"... Seongnam City Accepts Submissions Until September 19

Seongnam City's Regulatory Innovation Idea Contest Poster

Seongnam City in Gyeonggi Province is accepting regulatory innovation ideas until the 19th of next month.

On the 29th, Seongnam City announced that it is conducting a regulatory innovation idea contest to improve difficulties faced by citizens or businesses in daily life and economic activities due to various regulations such as laws, systems, and rules.

The contest theme is "Improvement of all regulations in daily life and economic sectors," and the fields include citizen welfare, daily life, employment and jobs, support for small business owners and SMEs, and new industries.

However, matters unrelated to administrative regulations such as taxes, fees, fines, subsidies, as well as simple petitions, suggestions, complaints, and requests for inconvenience resolution are excluded.

Applications can be submitted by visiting the Seongnam City Hall website (Citizen Participation → Regulatory Reform / Proactive Administration), filling out the proposal form, and submitting it.

Seongnam City will select 15 regulatory innovation ideas on October 15 and award each proposer a prize of 200,000 KRW.

Additionally, among the selected ideas, regulations caused by Seongnam City's autonomous ordinances will be internally revised after review by the relevant departments.

Regulations caused by laws will be submitted as recommendation tasks to the relevant central government ministries.

A Seongnam City official urged, "We ask for the interest of citizens and businesses so that unreasonable regulations that hinder daily and economic life and the promotion of proactive administration can be discovered and improved."

Meanwhile, Seongnam City received 50 citizen ideas through a similar contest last year.
