Lok Sabha has extended the time for presentation of the Report of the Joint Committee on Constitution (One Hundred and Thirtieth Amendment) Bill, 2025, the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation (Amendment) Bill, 2025 and the Government of Union Territories (Amendment) Bill, 2025 upto the first day of the last week of the Monsoon Session this year.
The three bills will bring into effect the regulations that no person who is arrested and in jail can function as Prime Minister, Chief Minister, or Minister in the Union or State Government. The bills also provide that an accused politician must obtain bail within 30 days of arrest. If they fail to secure bail within 30 days, then on the 31st day, either the Prime Minister or the Chief Minister will have to remove them, otherwise, by law, they will cease to remain eligible to function.
