Utilization of Public Assets for Disaster Recovery Support Becomes Easier

Legislative Notice of the Amendment to the Enforcement Decree of the Gongyujesan Act

In the event of a disaster, the scope of private contracts will be expanded to enable rapid recovery support using public property, and the conditions for installment payments of usage fees will be eased to reduce the burden on users of public property.

The Ministry of the Interior and Safety announced on the 8th that it will give a 40-day legislative notice starting tomorrow on the Enforcement Decree of the Act on the Management of Public Property and Goods, which includes these provisions.

The main points of this amendment are as follows. First, while public property usage permits and leases are generally subject to open competitive contracts, the scope of private contracts will be expanded for rapid disaster recovery support. Additionally, the conditions for installment payments of public property usage fees, lease fees, and compensation charges will be eased. Furthermore, to ensure efficient and systematic management and disposal of general property, additional entrusted management agencies will be designated.

Han Chang-seop, Vice Minister of the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, stated, “Public property created with residents' taxes should be effectively utilized for local residents,” and added, “Through this institutional improvement, we hope that public property will contribute to rapid disaster recovery support and help alleviate the burdens of local small business owners.”
