Summary

A Cabinet-submitted bill proposes to amend the Act on Special Measures Concerning Contracts Securing Performance of Specified Compensation Obligations for Specified Tankers. The listing identifies it as Bill No. 17 of the 222nd Diet session and records it as under deliberation in the House of Representatives.

Business Impact

Operators of specified tankers may be affected because the bill concerns contracts securing performance of specified compensation obligations for those tankers; the metadata does not describe the proposed changes.

Recommended Action

Review the official bill text and deliberation record to check the proposed amendments, their scope and any proposed effective-date provisions.

What happens next

General procedure: a bill becomes law only if both Houses of the Diet pass it; an enacted law is then promulgated, and its effective date is set by the law itself or by a later Cabinet Order. This is not a forecast of whether this bill will pass. Check the House of Representatives page for its current status.
