The supplementary budget bill, which has a total of more than 13 trillion yen in the general account that underpins the economic measures, is expected to be approved by the Japan Restoration Party and the National Democratic Party in favor of the Budget Committee of the House of Councillors on May 29 at the House of Councillors Budget Committee.
After that, a vote will be held at the plenary session of the House of Councillors, and it will be passed and enacted.
On the other hand, regarding the relief of victims of the former Unification Church, bills have been submitted by three parties, the Liberal Democratic Party, Komeito, and the National Democratic Party, as well as the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan and the Japan Restoration Party, and officials from the five parties will hold consultations.
While the bill of the Liberal Democratic Party and others says that the government will be able to grasp the asset status of religious corporations that have requested a dissolution order in a timely manner, the bill of the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan and other parties will allow the court to order the management and preservation of property at the stage when the request for a dissolution order is made.
In addition, in response to the caution given by the chairman of the committee that Digital Minister Kono used a smartphone during his answer at the Budget Committee, the ruling and opposition parties have expressed the opinion that it may be possible to allow the use of smartphones during the committee if the parties can reach an agreement, and it is expected that this will be considered in the future.
