Mr. President, Sir, I move:
“That for Article 172, the following Article be substituted:-Restriction of powers of Legislative Council as to Bills other than Money Bills.
‘172. (1) If after a Bill has been passed by the Legislative Assembly of a State having a Legislative Council and transmitted to the Legislative Council-
(a) the Bill is rejected by the Council; or
(b) more than two months elapse from the date on which the Bill is laid before the Council without the Bill being passed by it; or
(c) the Bill is passed by the Council with Amendments to which the Legislative Assembly does not agree, the Legislative Assembly may again pass the Bill in the same or in any subsequent session with or without any Amendments which have been made suggested or agreed to by the Legislative Council and then transmit the Bill as so passed to the Legislative Council.
(2)If after a Bill has been so passed for the second time by the Legislative Assembly and transmitted to the Legislative Council-
(a) the Bill is rejected by the Council; or
(b) more than one mouth elapses from the date on which the Bill is laid before the Council without the Bill being passed by it; or
(c) the Bill is passed by the Council with Amendments to which the Legislative Assembly does not agree,
the Bill shall be deemed to have been passed by the Houses of the Legislature of the State in the form in which it was passed by the Legislative Assembly with such Amendments if any, as have been agreed to by the Legislative Assembly.
(3) Nothing in this Article shall apply to a Money Bill’.”
