Can a Money Bill be passed by the Houses of the State Legislature without any amendments from the Legislative Council?
No, a Money Bill cannot be passed by the Houses of the State Legislature without any amendments from the Legislative Council. According to the given context, after a Money Bill has been passed by the Legislative Assembly, it shall be transmitted to the Legislative Council for its recommendations. The Legislative Council may recommend amendments to the Money Bill, which the Legislative Assembly can either accept or reject. If the Legislative Assembly accepts any of the recommendations, the Money Bill is deemed to have been passed by both Houses with those accepted amendments. If it doesn't accept any of the recommendations, the Money Bill is still considered to have been passed by both Houses in the form in which it was initially passed by the Legislative Assembly without any of the Council's suggested amendments. Therefore, there is no scenario where a Money Bill can be passed without any interaction with or amendments from the Legislative Council.
