Major Promotion Policies
Legislation Innovation Project
MOLEG will actively search, revise and abolish statutes that inconvenience the people or burden business activities. Laws, regulations and administrative rules contrary to the constitution are corrected to secure the trust of the people.

The current positive system of “prohibiting in principle and allowing in exceptional cases” will be changed to the negative system of “allowing in principle and prohibiting in exceptional cases.”

Easy - to Understand Statute Project
The Easy-to-Understand Statute Project modifies long and complex sentences of the Statutes to simple and clear sentences. It also revises Chinese and Japanese characters and professional terms of Statutes into easy-to-understand words for everyone.
This project provides one further step in legislative service by using the Hangul phonetics for the Hangul generation. People can now easily access the Statutes and finally create a people-centered legal culture.
From 2006 to 2010, about 1,150 Statutes will be modified and consolidated - in 2006, 70 Statutes that are related with people's ordinary life, and starting 2007, about 250 Statutes will be modified each year.
