MIGRANT WORKMENT BILL MOVED
The state government moved the Inter-state Migrant Workmen (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Service) (Uttar Pradesh Amendment) Bill 2018 in the Vidhan Sabha on Monday. The bill provides for registration of undertakings within a day of submission of application. It provides for compounding of first offence on payment of 50% as compounding fee along with prescribed fee for the offence. The state government had moved the Inter-state Migrant Workmen (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Service) (Uttar Pradesh Amendment) Bill 2017 passed in the state legislature in 2017. The governor had, however, reserved the bill for consideration by the President. The Union government recommended certain amendments that have been incorporated in the bill.
The state government also moved the Uttar Pradesh Appropriation Acts (Repeal) Bill 2018 to repeal 252 UP Appropriation Acts that had become obsolete.
