The Bihar Legislature (Pay, Allowances and Pension of Members) (Amendment) Act, 2017

The Act amends the Bihar Legislature (Pay, Allowances and Pension of Members) Act of 2006 to update financial regulations for state legislators. By substituting the existing preamble with a clearer statement drawn from India's constitutional provisions, it fundamentally aims to establish a formal framework for determining pay, allowances, and pensions for Bihar's Assembly and Council members. This legislative measure ensures state legislators receive appropriate financial benefits as mandated by constitutional Article 195 while maintaining consistency with central constitutional mandates concerning state legislature compensation structures.
