EXPLANATORY STATEMENT.

Sub-section (1) of Section 33 of the Tamil Nadu Agricultural Produce Marketing (Regulation) Act, 1987

(Tamil Nadu Act 27 of 1989) empowers the Government to appoint a Special Officer to manage the affairs of the market

committee pending the constitution of a new market committee for a period not exceeding three years in the aggregate.

By virtue of the said provision, Special Officers were appointed to 23 market committees to manage the affairs of the

said market committees and their tenure was extended beyond the said three years period, by amending the proviso to

sub-section (1) of the said Section 33, from time to time. Lastly their tenure was extended up to seven years and six months

by Tamil Nadu Act 38 of 2018. The tenure of Special Officers is due to expire on 29th November 2018. As it will take some

more time to nominate members to the market committees, it is necessary to extend the tenure of the said Special Officers

for a further period of one year beyond 29-11-2018 or till the reconstitution of the market committees, whichever is earlier.

The Government have, therefore, decided to amend the said Tamil Nadu Act 27 of 1989 for the above purpose.

2. The Ordinance seeks to give effect to the above decision.

(By Order of the Governor)
