A new Business Advisory Committee (BAC) has been constituted for the 17th Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly.
The Business Advisory Committee (BAC) is a statutory committee that plans and regulates the daily agenda and legislative business of the House.
It allocates time for discussions on government Bills, debates, Budget proceedings and other official business.
The Speaker of the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly serves as the ex officio Chairperson of the committee.
The committee usually has 10 to 17 members nominated by the Speaker and reflects the proportional strength of political parties in the House.
Its members generally include the Chief Minister (Leader of the House), Leader of the Opposition, party whips and senior members of recognised political parties.
The BAC decides the calendar of Assembly sittings, including the schedule for the Governor’s Address and time allotted for Budget discussions.
