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 Offi cer to manage the

aff airs of a market committee pending constitution of a new market committee for a period not exceeding

three years in the aggregate. By virtue of the said provision, the tenure of Special Offi cers who were

appointed to manage the aff airs of the market committees in the State were extended beyond the said

three years period, by amending the proviso to sub-section (1) of section 33 of the said Act, from time to

time. Lastly, their tenure were extended up to ten years and six months by Tamil Nadu Act 31 of 2021.

The said period is due to expire on the 29th November 2021.

2. Out of the 26 market committees, members were nominated to 24 market committees except

Tiruchirapalli and Cuddalore market committees. Of the said 24 market committees, the Chairman and

Vice Chairman were elected in 23 market committees (except Theni market committee) and they assumed

charge in the said 23 market committees.

3. Therefore, the tenure of Special Offi cers of 23 market committees (except Tiruchirapalli, Cuddalore and

Theni market committees) was extended from 30.11.2020 to the date prior to the assumption of charges of

the respective market committees by the members. Further, the tenure of the Special Offi cers of Tiruchirapalli,

Cuddalore and Theni market committees was extended from 30.11.2020 to 29.11.2021.

4. In the mean time, on the 23rd July 2021, the members nominated to the said 24 market committees

were withdrawn and Special Offi cers have been appointed for a period of one year to 23 market committees,

except Tiruchirapalli, Cuddalore and Theni market committees.

5. In as much as the extended tenure of the Special Offi cers of the market committees of Tiruchirapalli,

Cuddalore and Theni is due to expire on 29.11.2021 and as it will take some more time to

nominate members to the said market committees, it is necessary to extend the tenure of

the Special Offi cers of the said 3 market committees for a further period of one year beyond

29.11.2021

or

till

the

reconstitution

of

the

said

market

committees,

whichever

is

earlier.

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

purpose.

6. The Ordinance seeks to give eff ect to the above decision.
