Hwaseong City Recertified as 'Outstanding Local Regulatory Innovation Institution' by Ministry of Interior and Safety for Second Consecutive Time

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Choi Ki-ho] Hwaseong City announced on the 21st that it has obtained recertification as an 'Outstanding Local Regulatory Innovation Institution in 2022' under the evaluation of the Ministry of Interior and Safety. The certification period runs for three years from next month through October 30, 2025, and 30 million won in special fiscal transfer will be provided as financial incentive for the recertification.

The Local Regulatory Innovation Excellence Certification System is a system that evaluates regulatory innovation capacity across 243 local governments nationwide through 14 indicators across three categories.

This year, 17 local governments were selected as outstanding local governments, and among them, a total of 6 local governments, including Hwaseong City, have obtained recertification.

Hwaseong City received high praise for actively pursuing regulatory innovation by establishing a dedicated regulatory innovation team, operating an on-site local regulatory reporting center, and introducing a 'regulation burden of proof system' to ensure that suggestions from residents and businesses are processed promptly.

In particular, after the city launched the 'Hwaseong City Regulatory Innovation Promotion Team' last month through a collaborative system involving 15 departments related to business and permits, expectations are high that more agile regulatory innovation will be achieved.

Hwaseong City Mayor Jeong Myeong-geun stated, "We will actively listen to the difficulties of citizens, businesses, and small business owners, respond swiftly to address them, and make our best efforts to improve the lives of our citizens."
