This Act is enacted to regulate the common issues of the establishment, organization, operation, supervision and dissolution of non-departmental public bodies, to ensure the uninterrupted operation of public affairs with greater efficiency and flexibility, and to facilitate public interest.

The term “non-departmental public bodies” in this Act shall ref er to a public body incorporated under public law, other than a national or local autonomous body, which is established by the central industry competent authority to execute specific public affairs.
The specific public affairs set forth in the preceding paragraph shall meet the following requirements:
1.Public affairs that have professional needs or require improved cost effectiveness and operational efficiency;
2.Public affairs that are not suitable to be promoted by either the government or the private sector;
3.Public affairs that involve a lower degree of the exercise of public power.
Each non-departmental public body shall set up operations by prescribing its own organizational act. But where public bodies have similar objectives or functions that can be grouped into the same category, a general act to regulate their establishment may be enacted.

The supervisory authority of a non-departmental public body shall be the industry’s central competent authority, and shall be designated in the organizational act or general act.

A non-departmental public body shall prepare regulations governing its own personnel management, accounting systems, internal controls, auditing and other requirement. It shall submit such regulations to its board of directors (council of directors) for approval and, upon approval, file them to the supervisory authority for record.
A non-departmental public body may, without contravening any related law or regulation, draft regulations concerning its execution of public affairs and submit such regulations to its board of directors (council of directors) for approval, and upon approval, file them to the supervisory authority for record.
