From June next year, the use of 'man age' will be unified in judicial relations and administrative fields.
The Legislation and Judiciary Committee of the National Assembly held a plenary meeting today (7th) and passed a partial amendment bill to the Civil Act and a partial amendment to the Basic Administrative Act that clearly stipulated the use of manna.
The amendment is expected to pass the plenary session of the National Assembly scheduled for the 8th and 9th.
The amendment will take effect six months after promulgation.
Currently, age in accordance with the Civil Code is calculated based on the age of 10,000 years.
Also, some laws use 'year age' as the current year minus the year of birth.
In the meantime, it has been pointed out that this difference in age calculation and display methods can cause confusion when providing administrative services such as social welfare and medical care.
The partial amendment to the Civil Act, which passed the plenary session today, stipulates that the date of birth should be included in the calculation of age and displayed as the age of the child.
However, if one year has not passed since birth, it can be expressed as the number of months.
The amendment to the Framework Act on Administrative Affairs stipulates that when calculating age in the administrative field, it is calculated and displayed as the age in full years, including the date of birth, except when there are special provisions in other laws and regulations.
If less than one year has passed since birth, it can also be expressed as a number of months.
