This Act comes into effect as of the date on which the Administrative Complaint Review Act (Act No. 68 of 2014) comes into effect.

Unless otherwise specially provided for in these Supplementary Provisions, the provisions then in force continue to govern an appeal against a disposition or other act or an inaction of an administrative agency that concerns a disposition or other act of an administrative agency made before this Act comes into effect or an inaction of an administrative agency relating to an application filed before this Act comes into effect.

①The provisions then in force continue to govern the filing of an action with regard to a matter for which, pursuant to the provisions of Acts prior to the amendment by this Act, an action may not be filed until after a determination, decision or other act of an administrative agency on an appeal has been made, and for which the period within which that appeal was to be filed elapsed before this Act comes into effect without that appeal having been filed (including, where that appeal may not be filed until after a determination, decision or other act of an administrative agency on another appeal has been made, a matter for which the period within which the other appeal was to be filed elapsed before this Act comes into effect without the other appeal having been filed).

②The provisions then in force continue to govern the filing of an action for revocation of a disposition or other act against which an objection was filed pursuant to the provisions of Acts prior to the amendment by the provisions of this Act (including in the cases where the provisions then in force continue to govern pursuant to the provisions of the preceding Article), and against which, pursuant to the provisions of Acts as amended by the provisions of this Act, an action for revocation may not be filed until after a determination on a request for review has been made.

③The provisions then in force continue to govern an action for revocation of a determination, decision or other act of an administrative agency on an appeal that was filed before this Act comes into effect.
