[Background]
The Act on the Promotion of Business Activities of Persons with Disabilities was partially amended (promulgated on May 27, 2025, and effective on November 28, 2025), necessitating the amendment of its Enforcement Decree to ensure timely implementation of the subordinate legislation.
The purpose of this legislative amendment is to strengthen sanctions against "deceptive disability enterprises" (those using fraudulent or dishonest methods, name lending, etc.) that do not meet the qualification requirements for a disability enterprise.
[Main Points]
Extension of the Restriction Period for Re-applying for Certification After Revocation of Disability Enterprise Status Due to Fraud (Amendment to Article 11-3)
The certification of a company that obtained Disability Enterprise status through fraudulent or dishonest means, such as the unauthorized lending of a name, will be revoked, and the restriction period for re-applying for certification will be extended.
(Reason for Amendment): To extend the period during which a party whose Disability Enterprise certification was revoked (due to reasons corresponding to Article 18-3, Paragraph 1, Subparagraphs 1 or 2-2 of the Act) is restricted from re-applying for the certification (from 1 year to 3 years).
(Details of Amendment): Extends the "period prescribed by Presidential Decree" in Article 11-3, Paragraph 3.
