Incheon City Council Passes Standing Committee Amendment Bill on 'Reward Payment for Environmental Pollution and Noise Damage Reports'

Incheon citizens who report environmental pollution and noise-causing activities such as motorcycles are expected to receive rewards.

The Incheon City Council announced that the 'Incheon City Environmental Pollution Reporting Reward Payment Ordinance Amendment Bill,' which was primarily proposed by Na Sang-gil (Minju Party, Bupyeong 4) of the Industry and Economy Committee, passed the standing committee on the 5th. The ordinance is scheduled for approval at the plenary session on the 8th.

The ordinance was prepared to provide appropriate rewards to citizens who report increasingly serious environmental pollution and noise-causing activities caused by motorcycles, thereby raising awareness and participation in environmental pollution prevention and preventing such acts in advance.

Additionally, as the higher laws, the 'Act on the Control and Enhanced Punishment of Environmental Crimes' and the 'Noise and Vibration Control Act,' have been amended, related ordinances have been revised to align with the legislative intent, and the law has been amended to allow the payment of rewards. The ordinance includes specific procedures and reporting methods necessary for payment.

Representative Na said, "Environmental pollution acts threatening citizen safety continue to occur, and noise from motorcycles is becoming severe, which led me to propose this ordinance. I will continue to engage in legislative activities that can resolve citizens' complaints and inconveniences."
