Gyeonggi Province's Opinion on Legislative Amendments "Stands Out"

Gyeonggi Province has been implementing an active response system since May of last year to address legislative amendments and enactments by the central government from the initial stage, ensuring that Gyeonggi becomes a favorable business environment and that residents' rights are protected.

According to the province on the 11th, the government reflected Gyeonggi Province's opinion in 12 bills last year, and 13 bills are currently pending in the National Assembly or under review by the government.

The "Special Act on Support for Pyeongtaek and Other Cities due to the Relocation of U.S. Military Bases," enacted and promulgated on December 31 last year, is a bill directly drafted by Gyeonggi Province. Despite restrictions on factory establishment in the Seoul metropolitan area, the law allows the construction and expansion of factories in Pyeongtaek and guarantees the construction of an international peace city and the installation of public convenience facilities for residents.

A provincial official said, "Going forward, we will continue our efforts to reflect opinions to ensure that laws and ordinances that may impair corporate competitiveness and infringe on residents' rights due to unnecessary regulations are not enacted or amended."
