Pohang City held the '2024 3rd Regulatory Reform Committee' on the 26th at the Yeon O Se O Room in City Hall, attended by members of the Regulatory Reform Committee and staff from departments responsible for regulations.

On the 26th, Pohang City held the "2024 3rd Regulatory Reform Committee" at City Hall, attended by members of the Regulatory Reform Committee and employees from regulatory departments.

At the meeting, presided over by Regulatory Reform Committee Chairman Jang Sangkil (Deputy Mayor of Pohang City), the committee reviewed the appropriateness of eight regulations targeted for revision as part of the comprehensive clean-up of registered regulations in Pohang City, and decided whether to register two newly established regulations resulting from amendments to municipal ordinances.

The city conducted a thorough review of registered regulations in Pohang City's municipal ordinances that have been in effect for over five years, checking for deviations from the scope delegated by higher laws and unreflected amendments. As a result, eight regulations requiring relaxation, deletion, or supplementation were confirmed for revision.

In addition, the committee reviewed two newly established regulations regarding disqualification and dismissal by authority, following the complete amendment of the 'Ordinance on the Establishment of Pohang City Hall Workplace Sports Teams.' These regulations aim to ensure fairness in recruitment by specifying disqualification criteria for team members and to clarify the grounds for administrative actions by listing matters related to dismissal by authority.

The city carefully reviews related documents, such as regulatory impact analysis reports, from the initial stage of introducing new regulations to prevent indiscriminate establishment of regulations and to register them accordingly.

Furthermore, under the regulatory justification system, the departments responsible for regulations must prove the necessity of maintaining each regulation. If they fail to do so, the regulation is relaxed or abolished. This proactive and periodic approach ensures ongoing regulatory reform.

By the end of the year, the city also plans to review and correct data entry errors and omissions in the regulatory information system for the 157 registered regulations of Pohang City, thereby improving convenience for citizens accessing regulatory information.

Chairman Jang Sangkil stated, "Through regular review and active improvement of registered regulations, we will proactively respond to new environmental changes, enhance citizen convenience, and work to increase administrative trust."
