Gapyeong County Rolls Up Sleeves to Identify and Resolve Unreasonable Regulations

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Eom In-yong] Gapyeong County announced on the 24th that it will actively push forward with "on-site regulatory consultation" to swiftly identify and resolve unreasonable regulations.

The county plans to reduce resident inconveniences and increase public perception of regulatory reform through field-focused regulatory improvement.

From this month through December, the county will directly visit each department to assess regulatory conditions and explore improvement measures, focusing on identifying △delayed consultations with central government agencies that hinder business promotion and △regulations within local ordinances that cause resident inconvenience.

The regulatory improvement process will proceed by extracting problems through departmental interviews, quickly improving regulations that can be resolved internally through internal consultation, and seeking solutions for matters under central government jurisdiction by recommending them to relevant agencies.

In particular, for matters difficult to handle due to licensing and legal interpretation issues, the county plans to work in cooperation with its "Proactive Administrative Committee" to develop solutions.

To this end, the county will provide guidance on the "on-site regulatory consultation" operation plan in March, and will conduct departmental interviews from April through October.

County Governor Seo Tae-won stated, "Through this on-site regulatory consultation, we will actively improve unreasonable regulations that cause inconvenience to residents and businesses," and added, "We will do our best to enhance the county's administrative efficiency through regulatory innovation and support regional development."
