Summary

A Cabinet-submitted bill concerns identifying and related handling of information on the beneficial owners of corporations and other entities. The listing identifies it as Bill No. 19 submitted to the 222nd Diet session and records it as under deliberation in the House of Representatives; it does not establish enactment.

Business Impact

Corporations and other entities, and their beneficial owners, may be affected by proposed measures concerning beneficial ownership information, but the listing does not specify duties or scope.

Recommended Action

Reviewing the official Japanese bill text would help clarify the entities covered, proposed information requirements, and legislative progress.

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.
