Accelerated legislative efforts to enact policies under the Lee administration's purview
The German government has announced a comprehensive legislative agenda, with a focus on bills related to people's livelihoods and the economy. A total of 110 bills are set to be submitted to the National Assembly, according to the Ministry of Government Legislation.
Among the statutes requiring revision are the enforcement decrees of the act on the management of disasters and safety, as well as the enforcement decrees of the act on monitoring climate change. However, it's worth noting that the enforcement decrees of the act on monitoring climate change are not currently mentioned as being revised.
The ministry aims to expedite the submission of bills to allow for adequate deliberation and discussion in parliament. Politicians within the German government responsible for the submission and revision of these proposed bills include Chancellor Friedrich Merz, ministers of the leading federal ministries involved, such as the Federal Ministry of Defence, and others from coalition parties CDU/CSU, SPD, Bündnis 90/Die Grünen, and Die Linke involved in parliamentary sessions and budgetary committees.
In addition to bills related to disaster management and climate change, bills related to integrating medical support for veterans, promoting specialized manufacturing companies, and designating defense-related advanced strategic industries are expected to be submitted.
The ministry has also planned legislation to shorten working hours, potentially including tax credits for companies adopting a 4.5-day workweek. This move is part of the government's efforts to improve work-life balance and boost productivity.
It's important to note that the ministry does not mention any new key policy tasks during President Lee Jae Myung's five-year term, nor does it mention any new number of bills or subordinate statutes to be submitted or revised. The government has, however, outlined plans for 123 key policy tasks during President Lee's term.
By the end of this year, 66 subordinate statutes need to be revised, according to the ministry. The focus remains on passing these bills within the regular session of the National Assembly. The ministry's plans were announced after a Cabinet meeting presided over by Lee.
