Acting President Choi Sang-mok exercised his right to reconsider the revision of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, the Integrated Collection of TV Receipts, and the National Crime Prescription Exclusion Act, which downgrades AI textbooks into educational materials.

Acting President Choi Sang-mok said at a Cabinet meeting held at the Seoul Government Complex today (21st) that the National Assembly should supplement the Broadcasting Act and the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, and the National Crime Prescription Exclusion Act.

In particular, the revision of the Broadcasting Act, which collects KBS license fees and electricity fees, explained the purpose of the request for reconsideration, saying that it is possible to raise stable financial resources for public broadcasting in other ways and could hinder the people's right to choose.

The revision of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, which downgrades AI digital textbooks as educational materials, said it requires reconsideration because students will be deprived of customized learning opportunities using AI and other technologies, and it could hurt national competitiveness.

The National Crime Prescription Exclusion Act, which includes the removal of civil and criminal prescriptions for anti-human rights state crimes, said violent crimes and abuse of government officials' authority should not be treated the same, and if implemented, officials who performed their duties legally could be exposed to lifelong charges.

At this Cabinet meeting, the amendment to the Insurrection Special Prosecutor Act, which recently passed the plenary session of the National Assembly, was not proposed.
