Assemblywoman Sureun Lee, in response to the recent increase in households raising companion animals and the growing number of civil complaints in public spaces, which have led to more cases of conflict among citizens, proposed the partial amendment to the Namyangju City Animal Welfare and Support for Damage Caused by Abandoned Animals Ordinance. The amendment aims to prevent such cases and improve the welfare of companion animals and their owners. It establishes a definition for companion animal playgrounds and provides the legal basis for their installation.

Assemblyman Jihoon Kim (Min), as the lead proposer, introduced the Namyangju City Ordinance on the Prevention of Animal Road Accidents.
