Legislation Support
The Ministry of Government Legislation suggests opinions and provides interpretations in advance in the planning process of the local statutes in the local government, so that unnecessary conflicts or confusions can be prevented. Furthermore, we run the open legislative education to enhance legal professionalism of the public offi Also running the children legislative officer system and the youth legislative officer system, we contribute to raising the public’s law abiding spirit.
Legislation Support for Local Government
From 2011, the Ministry of Government Legislation, as the professional organization, specialized in legislation, makes use of legislative know-how and supports local government in making higher-quality local statutes. In addition, since 2017, we have modified the laws that impede decentralization in order to ensure it. (78 laws in 2017, 103 laws in 2018)
- Presenting opinions on Local Government Legislation
When local governments wonder if their local statutes violate any upper law or they have doubts about interpretation, we provide them with legalistic opinions about drafting and interpretation of the local statutes.
Requisition form is available on the Ministry of Government Legislation Website. (http://www.moleg.go.kr) (Statutory Interpretation information → Presentation of opinion on the local statutes → Requisition form: Requisition form is available for download)
- Legislative consulting on local statutes
Upon request for advice from local governments, we provide them with a comprehensive review of enactment or revision of local ordinances such as whether the ordinances violate the upper superior law, system of the provisions, expression method, etc.
The number of local governments that have been consulted is continuously increasing from 30 in 2017 to 212 in 2023. The number of reply relating to local ordinances is also increasing from 172 in 2017 to 709 in 2023. - Support for autonomous improvement of the local statutes
We review ordinances of the local governments, seek out improvement issues such as a restriction without legal basis, an item which may violate superior law, etc, and provide a measure of improvement.
- Arrangement and management of the ordinance in time
In accordance with enactment or amendment of the ordinance, we inform the public of necessary matters by email and open the status of improvement of the ordinance to the public, which helps the public easily compare and verify the ordinance.
The progress status of the ordinance, which is bound to improve by law, is available on the National Law Information Center (www.law.go.kr).
