Koreanics: Korea law, Acts and bills in English missed one check this week

Everything else answered, so this is steady rather than shaky. We check every 15 minutes, which is how a one-off gets told apart from the start of a pattern, and how you hear about the next one within the hour instead of from your users.

Available tools 7

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

law

get_law_article

Full English text of one article of a South Korean statute or enforcement decree (the law may be given by slug or by name), with a one-line plain-English explanation where available, the version date and the official Korean source link.

get_law_overview

The shape of one South Korean statute or enforcement decree without its full text: official English name, version in force, how much is translated into English, its chapters and sections with the article ranges they cover, the linked enforcement decree or parent Act, and how many amendment bills are pending in the National Assembly (a count and a link, not what each bill changes). Works for laws whose English translation is still in progress. Use get_law_article for the text.

search_law_articles

Keyword search over the English text of South Korean statutes and enforcement decrees in the Koreanics law database. Each Act and its Enforcement Decree are separate laws with their own slugs (e.g. labor-standards-act and enforcement-decree-of-the-labor-standards-act; also personal-information-protection-act, foreign-investment-promotion-act, foreign-exchange-transactions-act, monopoly-regulation-and-fair-trade-act, commercial-act, customs-act, value-added-tax-act, immigration-act, patent-act, copyright-act). Periods, amounts and thresholds are often in the Decree, so search it too; a law may also be given by name. Returns matching articles with a short snippet and URL. Use get_law_article for the full text.

bill

get_bill

Facts about one National Assembly bill by its bill number: English title, current stage and date, filing date, effective dates when promulgated, a one-line summary of what the bill proposed as filed, and links. committee_alternative = a replacement bill drafted by a committee, whose filing date can be later than its committee or judiciary dates.

bills

search_bills

Keyword search over bills that Koreanics tracks (English titles and one-line summaries). Returns stage, dates, topic tags and URL.

latest

latest_briefs

The most recent Koreanics Bill Briefs (analysis of one bill for foreign companies) or Weekly Briefs, with title, date, summary line and URL.

laws

list_laws

The South Korean statutes and enforcement decrees available in English, with slug, subject area, version in force and how many articles are translated. Paged: 50 per call by default; pass next_offset to continue, or filter by area.
