THE KARNATAKA MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS (SECOND AMENDMENT) ACT, 2002
Arrangement of Sections
Sections:
1. Short title and commencement
2. Amendment of Section 7
STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS
Section 7 of the Karnataka Municipal Corporations Act, 1976, provides for nomination of not more than five persons who have special knowledge in the area of municipal administration, health, town planning, education etc., as councilors of City Municipal Corporations.
Having regard to the area, size and greater civic responsibilities of the Bangalore City Municipal Corporation, it needs a separate dispensation. Therefore, it is considered necessary to provide for nomination of ten persons as councilors under section 7 to the Bangalore City Municipal Corporation and to retain the existing provision in respect of other City Municipal Corporations in the State.
Hence the Bill.
