Part I · Amendments to the Municipal Councils Ordinance

7. Amendment of section 215A of the principal enactment

Official English translation. Where it differs from the Sinhala or Tamil text, the Act itself says which text prevails.

Section 215A of the principal enactment is hereby amended by the substitution for the words “the Council.” of the following:—

“the Council:

Provided that, if the Council according to section 214

and 215 of this Ordinance modifies or rejects all or any items in any budget or supplementary budget or adds any item thereto which was submitted to the Council at any time by the Mayor after a period of two years since the commencement of the term of office of the Council, and if the Mayor does not agree to such decision of the Council, he shall resubmit the said budget to the Council for further consideration. Where a budget or supplementary budget is not passed by the Council within two weeks after it is resubmitted for the second time, the Mayor shall be deemed to have resigned from the office of Mayor at the end of the said period of two weeks.”.
