Legislation Evaluation Committee.

Legislative evaluation of ordinances refers to assessing whether the ordinance violates higher laws, contains discriminatory provisions, and the extent to which the executing agencies implement related projects stipulated in the ordinance during the process of its creation and enforcement. This system was introduced for the first time this year in the Gyeongnam Provincial Council.

The Legislative Evaluation Committee is an advisory body that reviews and deliberates on the legislative evaluation reports prepared based on this, consisting of 16 members including provincial council members, lawyers, university professors, and legislative evaluation experts. Over the next two years, it will provide advice and deliberation on reviewing laws related to legislative evaluation and ways to improve ordinances.

On this day, Councilor Jeon Hyun-sook was elected as the chairperson, and active discussions continued, including providing improvement opinions on 12 Gyeongsangnam-do ordinances and 3 ordinances of the Provincial Office of Education.

Chairman Kim Jin-bu said, “Legislative evaluation is significant in that the council is establishing a permanent evaluation system within the council to assess and improve ordinances passed by the council after a certain period.” He added, “Since this is the first year of introducing legislative evaluation, I ask for the committee members’ active support and participation to strengthen the substance and reliability of the Gyeongnam-type legislative evaluation.”

Meanwhile, there are about 900 ordinances in Gyeongsangnam-do and the Provincial Office of Education. Among them, 15 ordinances were selected as the first phase for evaluation out of 687 ordinances that have been enforced for more than two years, and a second legislative evaluation is planned to be promoted within the year.
