政治改革法案、２４日成立　国会会期の３日間延長議決

　衆参両院は２０日の本会議で、臨時国会の会期を２４日まで３日間延長することを議決した。この後、自民、立憲民主両党の参院国対委員長が会談し、政治資金規正法の再改正など政治改革関連３法案を２４日に成立させることで大筋合意した。
　再改正を巡り、石破茂首相（自民総裁）は年内実現を訴えていた。３法案は、政策活動費の廃止や、政治資金の支出を監査する第三者機関の設置が柱。立民が禁止を主張する企業・団体献金の扱いは来年３月までに結論を出す。
　延長国会で、与党は国と地方自治体が利用する共通基盤「ガバメントクラウド」の活用を後押しする関連法改正案など２法案の成立も目指す。（2024/12/20-18:39）

The Diet, Japan's parliament, voted Friday to extend its current extraordinary session by three days until Tuesday to enact three political reform bills.
   After the decision, the Diet affairs leaders of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party and the main opposition Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan in the House of Councillors, the upper chamber, agreed to enact on Tuesday the three bills including a fresh revision of the political funds control law.
   Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba has called for realizing the revision within this year.
   The bills feature the abolition of so-called policy activity expenses, whose uses are not subject to mandatory disclosure, and the establishment of a panel at the Diet to monitor movements of political funds.
   On political donations from companies and other organizations, on which the CDP seeks to introduce a ban, will be decided by March next year.
