Health19652 sections

This 1965 law regulates the provision of official medical benefits to key political figures in the Indian state of Punjab and their immediate families. It applies to state ministers, deputy ministers, legislative officers including the speaker and legislative council chairs, and all members of the term-limited state legislature. The law matters because it ensures that state representatives and their families receive standardized, government-funded healthcare benefits. It also establishes critical legislative oversight by requiring that all government-formulated rules regarding these medical benefits must be formally presented to and approved or modified by the state legislature before taking effect.
