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 the market committees to manage affairs of 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 eight years and six months by Tamil Nadu Act 2 of 2019. The tenure of Special Officers is due to expire on 29th November 2019.

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 six months beyond 29-11-2019 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)
