韩国国会通过了由执政党共同民主党主导的检察制度改革法案，为10月成立新的重大犯罪调查机构奠定了法律基础。在此之前，主要反对党国民力量党结束了为期24小时的阻挠议事，该党议员抵制了此次投票。
3月21日，韩国国会在首尔举行的全体会议上，以166票赞成、1票反对通过了由共同民主党主导的检察制度改革法案。该立法在行政安全部下设立了一个新的重大犯罪调查机构，负责调查贪腐、经济犯罪、国防工业相关犯罪、毒品犯罪、叛乱及网络犯罪。投票是在主要反对党国民力量党结束24小时阻挠议事后不久进行的，该党议员抵制了此次会议。此前一天，共同民主党通过了一项剥夺检察机关调查权并设立独立起诉机构的法案。这两项法案均于10月生效，旨在废除现行检察体制，实现调查权与起诉权的分离。根据新体制，起诉机构将仅负责起诉，而调查权将移交给重大犯罪调查机构。
