Bill fixes National Trust members' term at three years

This Bill amends the 1999 Act to fix the tenure of the Chairperson and Members of the National Trust to three years, preventing them from staying in office indefinitely after their term expires. It also requires the government to start the appointment process for new members six months before the current term ends.

The Chairperson and Members of the Board of the National Trust for Welfare of Persons with Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Mental Retardation and Multiple Disabilities, and the Central Government.

• Removes the provision allowing the Chairperson or Members to continue in office until a successor is appointed, fixing the term at three years.
• Requires the Central Government to initiate the appointment process for the Chairperson or Members at least six months before their term expires.
• Allows the Central Government to direct an officer of appropriate level to perform the functions of the Chairperson in case of a casual vacancy until the post is filled.
• Changes the rule for resignation so that the Chairperson continues in office only until their resignation is accepted by the Central Government, rather than until a successor is appointed.
