Toward the realization of a digital society, the government has stated that it aims to start the operation of a new system that expands the use of My Number to fields other than areas such as enhancement of social security and tax collection by the 7th year of Reiwa. We have put together a draft of a new priority plan.
With the Digital Agency, which was launched in September, as the control tower, the government has put together a draft of a new priority plan to accelerate the digitization of society as a whole.
According to this, as a future policy, after setting up six pillars such as growth strategy by digitalization and regional revitalization by digitalization, when enacting new laws and regulations, administrative procedures will be completed by digital processing. We are considering a process and system to confirm compliance with the "Digital Principles".
Then, next year, we will submit a bill to amend the My Number Act to the Diet, and start operating a new system to expand the use of My Number to areas other than areas such as enhancement of social security and tax collection by the 7th year of Reiwa. I am aiming to do it.
Furthermore, in the event of a disaster, the procedure for applying for support funds to be paid according to the degree of damage to the house will be omitted and digitization will be promoted, and the bill necessary for digitizing the procedures for civil proceedings will be submitted to the ordinary Diet next year. It also includes consideration of further digitization of corporate bankruptcy proceedings.
The government plans to make a cabinet decision on a new priority plan by the end of this year.
