2 provisions changed · 2 provisions in the supplementary provisions
Each provision the amendment changes, as it will read: the words it adds are underlined, and a bar marks where it removes words. “Show removed words” strikes those through in place; “Before and after” sets the two wordings side by side. A provision that only moves to another number says the number it had. The Japanese is the law; the icon beside each English column says whose English it is.

A change to a law's text. It is made by a separate law or order — the amending act — usually written as instructions to replace, delete or add words. An Act amending part of another Act is usually titled 〇〇法の一部を改正する法律, "act amending part of…", or 〇〇法等の一部を改正する法律 when it amends three or more.
The day a law or an amendment starts to apply. It is often months or years after promulgation, so that people have time to prepare. The Ministry of Justice's English usually says a law "comes into force" or "comes into effect", and sometimes calls the day its "enforcement date". Its "enforcement" more often means the word's other sense, carrying a law out, as in an Order for Enforcement (施行令), the Cabinet Order (政令) that sets out the details for carrying out an Act.
The official identifier a law receives when it is published: the year, the kind of law, and a serial number within that year. Titles can repeat over the decades; numbers never do.
The official publication of a law or amendment once it has been made, in the Official Gazette (官報), so that anyone can know what it says. A law cannot bind anyone before it is promulgated, and it usually starts to apply on a later enforcement date.
The part after a law's main provisions (本則) that deals with matters incidental to them: when the law takes effect, how the change from old rules to new ones is handled, and sometimes temporary exceptions to the main text. Every amending law has its own, printed after the original law's.
