CHENNAI: The last day of the four-day-long winter session of the Assembly on Monday saw the adoption of 14 Bills. In addition to the legislation providing quota in employment and education to Backward Class Christians and Muslims, three Amendment Bills – Tax on Consumption or Sale of Electricity, Chennai City Police and Court Fees and Suits Valuation – were taken up for consideration. Subsequently, these along with other legislations such as the Appropriation Bill, Payment of Salaries (Amendment) Bill, Municipal Laws (Amendment) Bill, Educational Institutions (Prohibition of Collection of Capitation Fee) Amendment Bill and Laws (Special Provisions) Bill were adopted. Member’s demandSpeaking on the legislation that sought to effect relaxation of the enforcement rule with regard to owners and occupiers of unauthorised developments in the Chennai Metropolitan Planning Area, G.K. Mani (Patali Makkal Katchi) wanted it to be referred to the Select Committee and sought action against violators of the law. Information and Urban Development Minister Parithi Ellamvazhuthi said during the implementation of the Second Master Plan, the issues raised by the PMK leader would be resolved. The amendment to the Chennai City Police Act envisaged doing away with the practice of getting licence from the Commissioner for using enclosed place or building as an eating house, boarding house, lodging house, hotel and gymnasium or fencing school. It would be suffice if a no-objection certificate on traffic clearance is obtained by the municipal corporation from the Police Commissioner. The amendment to the Electricity law sought to give effect to the Government’s decision of invalidating the exemption granted from levy of electricity tax under the now-defunct Electricity (Taxation on Consumption) Act 1962 and validate the collection of electricity tax already made under the Tax on Consumption or Sale of Electricity Act 2003 [which repealed the 1962 Act] besides providing for the levy of electricity tax on maximum demand retrospectively.
