Jeonnam Gwangju City promotes revision of special laws, including codification of integrated incentives

Jeonnam Gwangju Unified Special City is pushing for revision of the Special Consolidation Act to take advantage of government integrated financial incentives.

On the 13th, the integrated city held a second sharing meeting to discover special cases for the revision of special laws at Muan City Hall and discussed the revisions.

At the sharing meeting, discussion continued by selecting priority tasks among the 169 revision agendas discovered by the Unified City and others.

Among the 394 special provisions, we intensively discussed ways to revise and establish special provisions to merge overlapping provisions and stipulate financial incentives.

The city decided to push for a revision of the law by including special provisions to ensure that the government can stably receive the '20 trillion won over 4 years' incentive that the government has decided to support.

It has been reported that discussions were held on including a special provision so that the provision of additional support of 6% of special grant tax when local governments are integrated also applies to the integration of Jeollanam-do and Gwangju.

The city plans to hold additional public meetings to discuss new revisions, prepare revisions by this year, and request them to the government and National Assembly.

Mayor Min Hyeong-bae said, "The current Unified Special City Special Act has limitations, so it is important to make it advantageous for the Jeonnam Gwangju region. Among the 394 special cases, ineffective or overlapping parts must be removed and special cases that are actually necessary for the local community and citizens must be intensively discovered."
