The Liberal Democratic Party on Wednesday presented a draft amendment to its bill revising the political funds control law that calls for suspending state subsidies to political parties if member lawmakers violate the law.
The draft was shown at a meeting of executives from the special political reform committee of the Lower House.
The subsidy suspension plan reflects demands from Komeito, the LDP's junior coalition partner. Komeito is expected to support the amendment, but it said at the meeting that it will consider the matter internally.
