The National Assembly's special committee on the "Special Act for Korea-US Strategic Investment Management" resumes operations Wednesday after previous sessions stalled amid partisan conflict over the Democratic Party's push for judicial reform legislation.
The committee will hold a plenary session to formally introduce the bill, establish subcommittees, and conduct general debate. A scheduled Oct. 24 session to address these matters ended after only a public hearing due to ruling and opposition party standoffs.
The bill subcommittee will comprise seven members: three from the Democratic Party of Korea, three from the People Power Party, and one from the Rebuilding Korea Party. Each party's delegation includes its committee secretary and two additional members.
Democratic Party representatives are Reps. Chung Tae-ho, Huh Young, and Park Ji-hye. The People Power Party will send Reps. Park Soo-young, Park Sang-woong, and Kang Seung-kyu. Rep. Cha Kyu-keun of the Rebuilding Korea Party will represent minor parties.
Both parties aim to pass the US investment bill by Dec. 9, the committee's operational deadline.
"Both ruling and opposition parties share the fundamental goal of serving the national interest, so I don't expect major disputes at today's meeting," Rep. Park Soo-young, the opposition party's committee secretary, said on KBS Radio Wednesday.
