The Local Autonomy Act (地方自治法, Chihō-jichi-hō), passed by the House of Representatives and the House of Peers on March 28, 1947[1] and promulgated as Law No. 67 of 1947 on April 17,[2][3] is an Act of devolution that established most of Japan's contemporary local government structures and administrative divisions, including prefectures, municipalities[3] and other entities. On July 16, 1999, the law was amended to eliminate administrative functions imposed upon local governments by the central governments and to establish Committee for Settling National-Local Disputes.[4] The law and other relevant laws have been amended after the revision to promote decentralization.[5]
