How is assent given to bills in a state legislature?
Assent to Bills.

[10] (1) Subject to the provisions of this Constitution and to any rules made by a House of Legislature under article 208, the procedure in a State Legislature in respect of an Bill shall be that prescribed in the rules of procedure of the House or the Houses, as the case may be, for the time being in force in so far as they are not superseded by the provisions of this Constitution or by such rules.

[11] (2) A Bill pending in the Legislature of a State shall not lapse by reason of the prorogation of the Assembly thereof:

Provided that if a Bill, having been passed by the Assembly and sent to the Legislative Council for its concurrence, is rejected or amended by the Council, it shall be returned to the Assembly for reconsideration; and if it is again passed by the Assembly with or without amendments and sent again to the Council and more than three months elapse from the date of the first passing of the Bill by the Assembly without the Bill being passed by the Council, the Bill (together with the Amendments, if any, suggested by the Council) shall be presented to the Governor for his assent:

Provided further that if a Bill passed by the Legislative Council is rejected or amended by the Assembly, it shall be returned to the Council for reconsideration; and if it is again passed by the Council with or without amendments and sent again to the Assembly and more than three months elapse from the date of the first passing of the Bill by the Council without the Bill being passed by the Assembly, the Bill (together with the Amendments, if any, suggested by the Assembly) shall be presented to the Governor for his assent.

[12] (3) A Bill pending in the Legislature of a State which would, if passed, affect the jurisdiction or powers of the High Court of that State shall not be introduced or moved in either House of the Legislature until copies of the Bill have been laid on the tables of both Houses for a total period of thirty days, and no motion for the consideration of such Bill shall be made in either House until the expiration of that period.

[13] (4) A Bill pending in the Legislature of a State which would, if passed, affect the policy or the principles on which the Government of the State is conducted, shall not be passed by either House without being sent to the Governor for his assent:

Provided that where such Bill is passed without being sent to the Governor for his assent and it contains a declaration that it is expedient in the public interest that it should be brought into operation at once, the Governor shall, within two months after the date of its receipt by him, give his assent to such Bill:

Provided further that if the Governor refuses to give his assent to such Bill or repays the same with a message requesting reconsideration thereof, the Legislative Assembly may reconsider it and, if it again passes the Bill without making any change therein, it shall be returned to the Governor for his assent, and he shall not withhold his assent therefrom.

[14] (5) No Bill or amendment which purports to restrict the powers of the High Court in the exercise of its jurisdiction under article 226 shall be introduced or moved in either House of the Legislature without being sent to the Governor for his assent, and if such Bill is passed by the Legislature, it shall not be presented to the Governor for his assent until copies thereof have been laid on the tables of both Houses for a total period of thirty days.

[15] (6) A Bill pending in the Legislature of a State which has been rejected or amended by the Governor shall not be reintroduced in the same Session; but nothing in this sub-section shall be construed to prevent the passing of an Act embodying the same provisions to which the Governor has assented.

[16] (7) A Bill pending in the Legislature of a State, other than a Money Bill, which has been passed by that House and returned to that House with a message from the Governor for reconsideration shall not be reintroduced or moved in either House until copies thereof have been laid on the tables of both Houses for a total period of thirty days.

[17] (8) A Bill, other than a Money Bill, which has been rejected by the Legislative Council and returned to the Assembly with a message from the Governor for reconsideration shall not be reintroduced or moved in either House until copies thereof have been laid on the tables of both Houses for a total period of thirty days.

[18] (9) The assent given by the President under clause (3) of article 200 or by the Governor under clause (4) of article 201 shall be deemed to be the assent of the President or, as the case may be, the Governor for the purposes of this Constitution.

[19] (10) A Bill passed by the Legislative Assembly and sent to the Legislative Council for concurrence shall not be presented to the Governor for his assent until it has been laid before the Speaker of the Assembly for a total period
