Regarding the government's outline of a new bill to regulate malicious donations to help the victims of the former Unification Church, organizations such as NPOs that conduct social contribution activities based on donations said, Such regulations will atrophy the activities to collect the necessary donations.”
In order to help the former Unification Church victims, the government plans to submit a new bill to the current Diet session in order to regulate malicious donations that are not adequately addressed by the current law. I showed it to the ruling and opposition parties.
On the night of the 22nd, about 160 people, including representatives of NPOs nationwide that conduct social contribution activities based on donations, exchanged opinions online about this new bill.
In the meeting, attendees stated that they had no objection to providing relief to victims of the problems of the former Unification Church. Due to the uniform definition of "donations to corporations" and the vague definition of donations subject to regulation, there have been many voices of concern that activities to collect healthy and necessary donations will be withered. I was.
We will also request the government to limit the actions subject to recommendations to malicious acts, to make the contents of the bill known to citizens in an easy-to-understand manner, and to listen to the opinions of NPOs and others and reflect them in the bill. I have confirmed the policy.
