Chapter IV-2 Processing and Use, etc. of Identity Confirmation Information (Articles 30-11 to 30-15-2)
The law as Act Partially Amending the Medical Care Act, etc. (Act No. 87 of 2025) leaves it, with the words it and the amendment named below change marked.
e-Gov lists one more amendment between this one and the text before it, but publishes no text of the law as that amendment leaves it: Act No. 26 of 2024, the Act Partially Amending the Employment Insurance Act, etc. (1 October 2028). So what is shown here is what the two amendments change together, and which of them makes each change cannot be told from e-Gov's texts.
The main text is read a page at a time: a chapter to a page, and a long chapter in runs of articles. The whole main text, and the supplementary provisions and appended tables these amendments change. Those they leave untouched are on the page for the text in force.
