Gujarat Governor O P Kohli has given assent to eight bills passed by the Legislative Assembly during the recently concluded budget session.
However, the Gujarat Control of Terrorism and Organised Crime Bill (GCTOC) is yet to be sent to him.
The eight bills, which become laws after the Governor’s assent, include The Gujarat Money Lenders (Amendment) Bill, The Gujarat University of Transplantation Sciences Bill, The Gujarat Co-operative Societies (Amendment) Bill and The Gujarat Court Fees (Amendment) Bill.
During the month-long budget session which ended on March 31, a total of 21 bills were pased by the House.
“There are still some bills, including GCTOC, which are yet to be sent to the Governor. I learnt that some of these bills are still with the Speaker who is out of state for some work. After he comes back, these bills will be sent for approval,” said Health Minister and government spokesperson Nitin Patel.
