This Act comes into effect on the day on which three months have elapsed from the date of promulgation; provided, however, that the provisions listed in the following items come into effect as of the dates specified in those items.

The provisions then in force continue to govern dispositions and other acts of administrative agencies made, before the date on which this Act (or, with regard to the provisions listed in the items of the preceding Article, those provisions; the same applies hereinafter in this Article and the following Article) comes into effect, pursuant to the provisions of Acts prior to their amendment by this Act or of orders based on them (limited to provisions prescribing disqualification clauses or other measures relating to restrictions on rights), and the effect of any loss of position arising under those provisions.

With regard to the application of penal provisions to acts committed before this Act comes into effect, the provisions then in force continue to govern.

The government is to review the provisions of the Companies Act (Act No. 86 of 2005) and the Act on General Incorporated Associations and General Incorporated Foundations (Act No. 48 of 2006) that restrict the qualifications of officers of corporations on the grounds of their being adult wards or persons under curatorship, aiming to do so within one year after the promulgation of this Act, and, based on the results of that review, is to take necessary legislative measures, including the deletion of those provisions.
