After a wiki binge I can try to answer: it seems that the “Unification Church” is a religious movement popular in Japan and Korea and pressures members into massive donation as well as bringing new members to the church.
The assassin was acting in revenge for his mother’s donations to this church ruining their family. Shinzo Abe, the assassinated president, was a high profile member.
So the bill basically sets up a bunch of rules on how donations can be solicited and offers a right of refund if there’s anything dodgy about the way the money was donated, or if the victim was deemed to be “brainwashed” into it.
Behind the Bastards had a good couple episodes about the moonies. They were everywhere at one point, even making it into meetings at the white house (in the 80s IIRC).
I dont get it. Can someone explain what this bill is about?
