On May 12, 2026, the Presiding Officers of Legislative Assemblies from six Indian states gathered in Mysuru, Karnataka, to initiate discussions aimed at standardizing the procedures and conduct of State Legislative Assemblies across the country. The committee, led by Uttar Pradesh Assembly Speaker Satish Mahana, was formed by Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla and is tasked with modernizing legislative practices that have remained unchanged for 40 years. The committee will engage with the Speakers from various states, including Nagaland, Himachal Pradesh, New Delhi, Karnataka, and Maharashtra, to gather suggestions before compiling a report for submission. The committee's next meeting is set to take place in New Delhi in the next month and a half, with a six-month deadline to finalize their report. Mahana emphasized the need for uniformity in legislative functions, especially in light of rapid societal changes and advancements in technology, infrastructure, and financial affairs, with a focus on public welfare.
