Nippon Ishin no Kai (Japan Restoration Party) is planning two bills: one that would legalize casinos and one that would let local government heads concurrently serve in the Upper House.
The party intends to submit the bills to the Diet during the current session, which ends June 26.
The casino bill would bring Asian and American-style gambling resorts to Japan, while the other proposed legislation would pave the way for Nippon Ishin co-leader Toru Hashimoto to retain his position as Osaka mayor if he were to be elected to the Diet.
