The Legislative Assembly of Meghalaya (Members' Family and Pension) Act, 2002

This Act regulates the distribution of family pensions to the surviving relatives of deceased members of the Legislative Assembly of Meghalaya who were receiving or eligible for a pension. It applies directly to the deceased legislator's spouse as well as their minor or unmarried children, including stepchildren and adopted children. Under this law, eligible family members receive fifty percent of the former legislator's base pension amount, excluding any medical allowances. This legislation matters because it provides financial security and support to the immediate families of deceased state lawmakers, ensuring the welfare of their dependents after the public servant passes away.
