On the 30th, the opposition parties decided to include the head of the central administrative body and the head of local governments in the sphere of the person responsible for the Law on Corporate Sanction for Severe Accidents. Within the government, the minister, the mayor and the provincial governor were out of the reach of the person in charge and were controversial.
Additionally, the scope of punishable managers was not limited to the “representative director” and was expanded to reduce blind spots that can occur in hospitals and non-profit organizations.
The Legislative Judicial Committee of the National Assembly held subcommittee 1 for the review of the bill starting at 2 pm on the 30th and continued discussions on the Major Disasters Law.
On this day, there was a controversy about the scope of the person in charge. I struggled with the idea of having the person in charge as a representative director and director of security management, or director of security management.
“The enactment of the Severe Accident Law aims to reduce industrial accidents through criminal penalties even for corporate bosses who were not subject to punishment under the existing Occupational Safety and Health Law,” said Eun-mi Kang, who visited the so-called Justice Committee. It was tentatively decided on three plans that are ‘directors’, “he said.
Concerns have also been raised that if the person in charge is the representative director or the director of security management, the director who does not have the authority to make decisions in place of the representative in the actual criminal punishment will be held liable, and the representative director can escape the legal system. Regarding this, Won-nae Kang explained, “We decided to discuss it again, leaving a room behind.”
After the subcommittee ended, Democratic Party lawmaker Paik Hye-ryeon, secretary of the ruling party, said, “We decided not to use the concept of representative” and “(if limited to the representative director), there are blind spots like hospitals and welfare corporations as non-profit corporations. ” He said that the person who actually runs the business and is responsible for leaving the business can enter the management manager.
In addition, discussions continued on a government proposal that excluded government responsibilities, such as the minister of the central government and the head of local governments.
Representative Paik said: “The scope has been expanded to a structure in which non-corporate companies and large organizations can be in charge, and it has been agreed that heads of central administrative agencies and heads of local governments are included in the scope of (manager) “.
The controversial definition of a ‘disaster of two or more deaths’ was agreed upon as ‘disaster involving more than one person’.
Representative Paik said: “Yesterday it was agreed to apply all cases of death of a person,” he said. “Therefore, an agreement has been reached that both the Kim Yong-gyun case and the Guui station disaster can be punished under the Major Disaster Law.”
The Justice Party is concerned that punishment is mitigated by deciding to kill a person. This is because there is an opinion of the Ministry of Employment and Labor within the government that it is necessary to adjust the level of punishment to a lower level when keeping a dead person.
I’m interested to know if the Severe Disaster Law can be handled in plenary session during this extraordinary session of the National Assembly, which ends on the 8th. Rep. Paik said: “We will open the so-called” January 5 “and” As clarify the important part, the discussion will accelerate on day 5. ”
