Tamil Nadu Infrastructure Development (Amendment) Act, 2022
The Tamil Nadu Infrastructure Development (Amendment) Act, 2022, Act No. 37 of 2022, was enacted by the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly, received the Governor's assent on 17 June 2022, and was published by the Government of Tamil Nadu through the Law Department. It came into force at once and changes the membership and administration of the Infrastructure Development Board and its Executive Committee under the Tamil Nadu Infrastructure Development Act, 2012.
What the Act does
The Tamil Nadu Infrastructure Development (Amendment) Act, 2022 amends the Tamil Nadu Infrastructure Development Act, 2012. It changes who serves on the Infrastructure Development Board, how the Board's Chief Executive Officer is appointed, and the composition of the Executive Committee.
The Act mainly concerns the governance and administration of infrastructure development bodies. It does not set out provisions dealing directly with the purchase, sale, ownership or registration of individual properties.

- The Chief Secretary to Government, serving ex-officio.
- The Secretary to Government, Finance Department, serving ex-officio as Member-Secretary.
- The Chief Executive Officer of the Board, serving ex-officio.
The Government is responsible for appointing the Chief Executive Officer of the Board. The amendment also removes the words requiring the approval of the Government from another provision concerning the Chief Executive Officer.
