The Ansan City Council in Gyeonggi Province conducted training to enhance the capabilities of its members ahead of the regular session scheduled for October and November.
According to the council on the 21st, training sessions were held from the 17th to the 18th at the Air Sky Hotel in Incheon, focusing on ordinance drafting and review processes, as well as prevention of four major types of violence.
Council members, including Chairman Han Myung-hoon and Vice Chairwoman Hyun Ok-soon, participated in the training.
On the first day, Professor Jo Yong-ho of the Legislation Research Institute served as the instructor, explaining practical aspects necessary for drafting and reviewing ordinances.
The training covered the basic structure of laws, the format of local regulations, legal terminology, and examples of ordinance drafting.
Particularly, the session helped council members understand practical aspects that are often overlooked when amending ordinances, such as revisions to supplementary provisions and annexes, using real cases.
On the second day, Jeon On-yu, a certified instructor from the Korea Gender Equality Education Institute, conducted training on the prevention of four major types of violence.
The session addressed concepts of gender sensitivity and provided information on preventing domestic violence, sexual violence, sexual harassment, and prostitution through case studies and Q&A.
This training was organized to assess the practical capabilities needed for ordinance review, administrative audits, and budget reviews ahead of the regular session, while also fulfilling mandatory legal education requirements.
Chairman Han Myung-hoon stated, “The upcoming two regular sessions will include major legislative schedules such as administrative audits and the review of next year’s budget.”
He added, “As this will be the first regular session since the 10th council was inaugurated, we will prepare thoroughly to ensure that deliberations serve the citizens.”
