About the measure of activation of the local assembly, the practice on parliamentary management is collected by the example of practice of Mie prefectural assembly which is tackling systematically and continuously. And about the design and proposal, the national all-prefectures parliamentary speaker meeting tackles systematically and is performing the powerful request to related organizations. Moreover, by Niseko Town, the Yokkaichi municipal assembly, the Mie prefectural assembly and the Yokosuka municipal assembly, the measure which is going to establish a parliamentary autonomous right attracts attention by enacting a parliamentary basic ordinance or a meeting ordinance.
