음주운전 사망 사고 시 최대 무기징역 ‘윤창호법’ 본회의 통과

Just over a week to go... before the National Assembly concludes its regular session this year.
Another plenary session was held today, with members passing some 60 pending bills, including legislation to toughen punishment for drunk driving.
Kim Mok-yeon has the highlights from that meeting.
After weeks of discussions, rival parties agreed to pass some 60 pending bills at a plenary session on Thursday.
They include two revised bills that have been named the Yoon Chang-ho Act, named after a soldier who died earlier this month... after being hit by a drunk driver in the southern city of Busan.
The revised bills call for a lengthier prison term for those who cause death while driving under the influence of alcohol.
The current minimum sentence is one year,... which will be raised to at least three years,... and up to life imprisonment.
In cases where the drunk driver cause injuries,... prison terms will range from one year to fifteen years,... compared to the present law which carries a maximum sentence of 10 years with no minimum limit.
Another key bill passed during Thursday's session was a revised law... to tackle the increasing problem of "revenge porn" cases.
The bill will now punish people who not only film such videos illegally,... but also those who distribute them without the victim's consent,... even if he or she agreed to its filming.
Aside from this, bills on improving working conditions for part-time lecturers at universities was also passed... with the new law guaranteeing their contract to last at least one year.
These latest developments came as part of bipartisan efforts,... to pass as many bills before the regular session ends on December 9th.
