In response to issues surrounding factional political funding parties, the Liberal Democratic Party's proposed amendments to party rules and regulations have been revealed. If an accounting officer is arrested or prosecuted for violating the Political Funds Control Act, the law will allow the lawmaker to take punishment such as "recommendation to leave the party" or "suspension of party membership" If the accounting officer committed a crime for the purpose of causing the loss of membership as a member of the Diet, no disciplinary action will be taken.
