The Committee on Subordinate Legislation recommended in its VII Report that the Mysore Khadi and Village Industries Act, 1956 may be amended making provisions for laying before the Legislature the rules framed under the Mysore Khadi and Village Industries Act, 1956. Under the existing Act; there is no such provision to place the rules before each House of the State Legislature. In the Andhra Pradesh, Tamilnadu and Bombay Khadi and Village Industries Acts, there is a provision to place the rules issued under the Acts before their State Legislatures. Besides in the Khadi and Village Industries Commission Act 1956, there is a provision to place all the rules issued under that Act before both Houses of Parliament. It is proposed to make similar provision in the Mysore Act by adding sub-section (3) to section 31 of the Act. (Published in the Karnataka Gazette (Extraordinary), Part IV-2A, dated 19-10-1972, as No. 415, at page. 5-6.) IV Amending Act 16 of 1978.—There is no provision in the Act for grant of leave to the Chairman and for making in-charge arrangement during the leave period. It is considered necessary to provide for the same. According to the existing provision, the State Government can appoint upto 15 Members on the Board, which will no doubt, become unwieldy. It was considered necessary to restrict the maximum number to nine. Power is being taken to prescribe the term of office and conditions of service of the Chairman and Members. Provisions are made for filling up of casual vacancies and empowering the Board to raise loans from Banks. As the Karnataka Legislative Council was not in Session and as the matter was urgent an Ordinance was promulgated. This Bill seeks to replace the said Ordinance. (Notification LA 14/1978. Obtained from file No. LAW 23 LGN 78.) V Amending Act 21 of 1983.—A decision was taken to extend pensionary benefits to employees of the Karnataka State Khadi and Village Industries Board by making necessary rules with retrospective effect. As there was no provision in the Act enabling the Government to make rules with retrospective effect and the matter was urgent, an Ordinance was issued. This Bill seeks to replace the said Ordinance. (Published in the Karnataka Gazette (Extraordinary) Part IV-2A, dated 11-8- 1983, as No. 708, at page 10.) VI Amending Act 8 of 1985.—The activities and financial transactions of the Karnataka Khadi and Village Industries Board have steadily increased since its inception. Government is giving large amounts to the Board by way of grant-in-aid. With a view to enable the Board to cope up with its extended activities and to organise, develop and regulate Khadi and Village Industries in the State more effectively, it is considered necessary to appropriately broad-base the Board and to introduce other changes in its constitution and organisation by making necessary changes in the Karnataka Khadi and Village Industries Act, 1956. As the matter was of an urgent importance, the Karnataka Khadi and Village Industries (Amendment) Ordinance, 1985 (Karnataka Ordinance No. 4 of 1985) was promulgated. This Bill seeks to replace the said Ordinance. Hence the Bill. (Notification LA No. 15/1985. Obtained from file No. LAW 16 LGN 85.) VII Amending Act 18 of 2009.- Under Section 22-A of Karnataka Khadi and Village Industries Act, 1956, there is a provision for the defaulters of loan sanctioned by the Karnataka Khadi and Village Industries Board under various schemes to approach the Tribunal constituted by the State Government, if the question arises, as to whether a sum is payable to the Board is under dispute which is causing delay in recovery of loan. Hence, suitable amendments to the Karnataka Khadi and Village Industries Act, 1956 has been proposed. Hence the Bill.
