Presiding Officers of State Legislature

In the state legislature, the presiding officer of the Legislative Assembly is known as the Speaker, who is elected by the members. In bicameral legislatures, the Legislative Council is presided over by a Chairman. These officers are responsible for maintaining order, managing debates, and ensuring that legislative procedures are followed.

In simple language, the Speaker and Chairman help run the sessions smoothly by making sure that every member gets a chance to speak and that rules are followed. Recent examples have shown that effective leadership by these presiding officers is crucial for a productive legislative session.

Their roles are key to the proper functioning of the state legislature.
