Repeal of Mysore Ordinance No. 3 of 1956 and savings. * * * * STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS I Act 2 of 1957.— Not available II Amending Act 17 of 1957.— Not available III Amending Act 27 of 1957.—It is considered necessary to provide free furnished accommodation to mofussil members of the Legislature and to pay a sum of rupees sixteen as daily allowance to both local and mofussil members. It is also considered necessary to provide accommodation to mofussil members at half the rates usually charged in Government Guest Houses when they come to Bangalore on work other than during the period of meetings of the Legislature or Committees thereof. Hence this Bill. (Notification No. 11875 - LA, dated 12-9-1957. Obtained from the file LAW 36 LGN 57.) IV Amending Act 12 of 1959.— Section 8 of the Mysore Legislature Salaries Act, 1956, regulates the travelling and daily allowances payable to the Chairman and the Speaker for journeys within and outside the State. The rates fixed for journeys outside the State are also applicable in respect of journeys whether inside or outside India. As these rates are not sufficient for journeys outside India, it is considered necessary to specify the rates of allowances payable for such journeys. Hence this Bill. V Amending Act 10 of 1960.—At present the salary of the Deputy Chairman and the Deputy Speaker is three hundred and fifty rupees per mensem whereas the salary of a Deputy minister is six hundred rupees per mensem. It is considered that the salary of the Deputy 3 Chairman and the Deputy Speaker should be the same as that of a Deputy Minister. Section 10 of the Mysore Legislature Salaries Act, 1956, is therefore proposed to be amended. The Accountant General has suggested amendment of the Act, to make it clear that a member of one House when elected or nominated as a member of the other House will not be entitled to salary as a member of both the Houses, and the substitute references to annas by references to naye paise. The Legislature Assembly adopted a resolution on the 24th December 1959, recommending legislation being undertaken to increase the monthly salary of the members of the Legislature by one hundred rupees. Sections 11 and 12 of the Act are therefore proposed to be amended. Opportunity has been taken to make provision in clause 6 to enable payment of salary and allowances to members of the legislative Council elected to the Assembly in the last general elections, during the period they attended meetings of the Council and performed the functions of members of the Council. (Notification No. L A 138, dated 4th April 1960. Obtained from the file LAW 37 LGN 60.) VI Amending Act 8 of 1967.—The Salaries and Allowances payable to the Chairman and Deputy Chairman of the Mysore Legislative Council and the Speaker and Deputy Speaker of the Mysore Legislative Assembly and to the Members of the State Legislature are all fixed several years ago. Having regard to the present cost of living, it is necessary to increase the same. Hence this Bill. (Published in the Karnataka Gazette (Extraordinary), Part IV-2A, dated 31st July 1967, as No. 101, p. 5.) VII Amending Act 18 of 1968.—Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Chairman or of the Speaker, a Member of the Legislative Council or the Legislative Assembly who performs the duties of the Chairman or the Speaker is being paid salary and allowances of the Chairman or the Speaker, as the definitions of “Chairman” and “Speaker” include a member performing the duties of the Chairman or the Speaker. Some doubt has arisen as to the admissibility of the salary and allowances of the Chairman or the Speaker to such a member under the provisions of the Mysore Legislature Salaries Act, 1956, as it stands. The Deputy Chairman or the Deputy Speaker performs the duties of the office of the Chairman or the Speaker when the office of the Chairman or Speaker is vacant. But he is not entitled to the salary and allowances of the Chairman or Speaker. A specific provision is considered necessary for payment of salary and conveyance allowance and provision of a conveyance to the Deputy Chairman, Deputy Speaker or any Member performing the duties of the Chairman or Speaker.
