Article 197. Restriction on powers of Legislative Council as to Bills other than Money Bills
(1) If after a Bill has been passed by the Legislative Assembly of a State having a Legislative Council and transmitted to the Legislative Council for its concurrence, the Bill is not passed by the Legislative Council within a period of three months from the date on which the Bill is laid before the Council, or is passed by the Legislative Council with amendments to which the Legislative Assembly does not agree, the Bill shall, unless the Legislative Assembly resolves not to proceed with the Bill, be again passed by the Legislative Assembly, with or without such amendments, if any, as have been made, suggested or agreed to by the Legislative Council and then transmitted to the Legislative Council.
(2) If the Bill so passed is again passed by the Legislative Assembly and transmitted to the Legislative Council, and is not passed by the Legislative Council within one month from the date on which the Bill is laid before the Council, or is passed by the Council with amendments to which the Legislative Assembly does not agree, the Bill shall be deemed to have been passed by both Houses of the Legislature of the State in the form in which it was passed by the Legislative Assembly the second time with such amendments, if any, as have been made or suggested by the Legislative Council and agreed to by the Legislative Assembly.
(3) Nothing in this article shall apply to a Money Bill.
