The meeting was attended by a total of 10 committee members, including Im Miseon, Chairperson of the Legislative Evaluation Committee of the Gangwon Provincial Council, provincial council members, and external experts such as professors and lawyers. Based on their expertise and objectivity, they deliberated and voted on 36 ordinances of Gangwon Special Self-Governing Province subject to legislative evaluation in the second half of 2025.

In accordance with Article 4 of the "Ordinance on Legislative Evaluation of Gangwon Special Self-Governing Province," the committee examined the actual operation of the ordinances and the achievement of legislative objectives based on six evaluation criteria, including the legal basis and legitimacy of the legislation, the effectiveness of the ordinances, and the appropriateness of the support provisions. They also comprehensively reviewed the effectiveness of autonomous legislation, including budget and project status, and discussed the direction for ordinance revision.

As a result of the committee's deliberations, two ordinances were approved for normal implementation, 17 for intensive revision, 16 for general revision, and one for abolition. Among these, the committee recommended prompt implementation of projects by the executive agencies for 21 ordinances.

The results of this evaluation will be delivered to the relevant standing committees of the provincial council and the departments of the executive agencies in January 2026, leading to ordinance amendments or corrective measures. The results will also be released on the council's website to enhance transparency and accountability in legislation.

Chairperson Im Miseon stated, "Legislative evaluation is not a one-time event but a continuous process. We will do our best to enhance the completeness of ordinances and the effectiveness of policies so that we can carry out productive legislative activities centered on the residents of the province."

Meanwhile, the Gangwon Provincial Council has been conducting ordinance legislative evaluations since 2021. By the first half of 2025, a total of 613 ordinances had been evaluated, of which 543 required revision. To date, 433 ordinances (an 80% revision rate) have been revised.
