**第二項**  第七条第三項及び第四項の規定は、差別の禁止に関する指針の策定及び変更について準用する。この場合において、同条第三項中「聴くほか、都道府県知事の意見を求める」とあるのは、「聴く」と読み替えるものとする。
<sup>art-36/par-2 · https://japanlaw.org/ja/employment-of-persons-with-disabilities-act/art-36/par-2 · https://japanlaw.org/l/335AC0000000123/art-36/par-2</sup>
The provisions of Article 7, paragraph (3) and paragraph (4) apply mutatis mutandis to the formulation and modification of the guidelines on the prohibition of discrimination. In such a case, the phrase "hear the opinions of the Labor Policy Council and seek the opinions of the prefectural governors" in paragraph (3) of that Article is deemed to be replaced with "hear the opinions of the Labor Policy Council".
