The amendment stipulates that, based on the 'Emergency Welfare Support Act,' the Seo-gu Living Security Committee will assume the functions of the Emergency Support Deliberation Committee. Through this integration, the welfare review function is consolidated, shortening the decision-making process and significantly reducing the time required to provide actual support. It also clarifies the application of details such as on-site verification, post-management, and recovery procedures in accordance with the law, thereby enhancing fairness and transparency.

Paek stated, "Sometimes, the speed of administration can save lives," adding, "With this amendment, we have established a welfare system that can respond quickly in crisis situations." He further emphasized, "We will continue to improve the system so that Seo-gu can serve as a model of a warm and caring community welfare."
