지방일괄이양법의 의미와 한계 및 향후 과제

Abstract

At the end of the 20th National Assembly, the 「Act for Partial Amendment of 46 Acts, including the Act on Price Stabilization for the Central Administrative Authority and Central Administration, etc.」 (Abbreviation, 「Local Collective Transfer Act」) was enacted. This law enacted a single law by lumping some amendments to 46 related laws containing the transfer of central administrative authority to local regions. This article attempted to examine the progress of this law and the significance and limitations of legislation, and to present future tasks. Although this law has been recognized as a core task of decentralization for more than 10 years, it has not exceeded the threshold of the National Assembly. The fact that this law was initiated by the National Assembly in the 20s and discussed by the committee has a symbolic meaning. The content of the law and the progress of the procedure have great implications in that it can function as a scale for decentralization policy in the future. Through the enactment process and contents of this law, the following deficiencies can be identified. Despite the proposal in the form of a lump sum law, the National Assembly deliberation took place over a period of more than a year, and the purpose was not sufficiently reflected in the process of deliberation due to the splitting of the bill for each standing committee, and the fact that there were remarkably many areas of non-inclusion work. In other words, matters related to administrative and financial support were not properly reported to the National Assembly, and results related to cost estimation were not provided in time. In order to accurately assess the administrative and financial costs of the transfer of central administrative authority to local governments, it is necessary to form a separate, more specialized and independent committee. In order to comprehensively and systematically establish and implement a plan for function-oriented local transfer, and to improve efficiency and to be able to consistently deliberate on local transfer legislation, the Special Committee on Local Decentralization has given the authority to deliberate on legislation. In addition, the special committee on local decentralization of the National Assembly should be given the authority to deliberate on legislation.
