The Kumbakonam City Municipal Corporation Act, 2022
This Act establishes the Kumbakonam City Municipal Corporation to govern the city of Kumbakonam, effectively replacing the existing municipality with a new corporate body. It outlines the structure of local government by appointing a Mayor, a council, and various committees to oversee administration. The legislation grants the corporation the legal power to manage property and contracts while setting a fixed five-year term for its operation. By implementing this new framework, the Act seeks to improve urban governance and administrative efficiency in the region, while simultaneously ending the application of the older Tamil Nadu District Municipalities Act, 1920.
