The Bihar and Orissa Public Demand Recovery (Jharkhand-Amendment) Act, 2016

This law amends the Bihar and Orissa Public Demand Recovery Act of 1914 to expand who can act as a Certificate officer in Jharkhand. It allows the state government to appoint various officials, including Collectors, Sub-Divisional Officers, and even retired government employees under the age of 65, to perform these specific duties. This change gives the state more flexibility in recovering public demands by ensuring there are enough qualified officers available to handle the administrative work, rather than relying on a single fixed role.
