Abstract
This paper analyzes the legislative process of the law to support Nonprofit Organizations (NPOs) Activities submitted by the major political parties and points out the effectiveness of the Diet members' bills. The characteristics of the legislative process of the law to support NPOs Activities are as follows; 1) the ruling coalition parties stop making the bureaucracyled government bill and take the initiative in making the members' bill, adjusting the differences among three parties, 2) the precedence bills introduced by the New Frontier Party (the first opposition party) trigger off making the bill by the ruling coalition parties, 3) the political parties coordinate the policy contents with the citizen's groups and amend the bill, reflecting the interests of NPOs. It concludes that the Diet members' bill has a responsiveness and effectiveness because it adjusts the various interests of NPOs against bureaucracy's control over the NPOs activities and enhances the transparency of the decision-making process, and makes the intention of the legislators clear.
