The Prevention of Disqualification (Members of the Legislative Assembly of Meghalaya) Act, 1970

This 1970 law regulates which public offices can be held by members of the Meghalaya Legislative Assembly without causing their disqualification. It applies to current and aspiring lawmakers in the Indian state of Meghalaya. Under Indian law, legislators are generally barred from holding offices of profit that could compromise their independence. This Act matters because it lists specific roles that are officially exempt from this rule, allowing elected representatives to serve in those capacities without losing their legislative seats. Ultimately, it ensures stable governance by preventing the automatic disqualification of lawmakers who take on designated secondary public duties.
