According to an NHK News report on June 9:

マイナンバー法などの改正案を審議している参議院内閣委員会は、9日、理事懇談会を開き、日本年金機構のシステムから大量の個人情報が流出した問題を受けて、状況の推移を見極める必要があるとして、改正案の採決を当面、見送ることで与野党が一致しました。

Although it is referred to here as the My Number Bill, its official title is the “Bill for Partial Revision of the Act on the Protection of Personal Information and the Act on the Use of Numbers to Identify a Specific Individual in Administrative Procedures” [1], and it is a package with the amendment to the Act on the Protection of Personal Information. Consequently, the vote on the Act on the Protection of Personal Information was also postponed…. Well, well….
