mavalankar remained the president of the central legislative assembly until midnight of 14–15 august 1947 when, under the indian independence act 1947, the central legislative assembly and the council of states ceased to exist and the constituent assembly of india assumed full powers for the governance of india. just after independence, mavalankar headed a committee constituted on 20 august 1947 to study and report on the need to separate the constitution-making role of the constituent assembly from its legislative role. later, on the basis of this committee's recommendation, the legislative and constitution-making roles of the assembly were separated and it was decided to have a speaker to preside over the assembly during its functioning as a legislative body. mavalankar was elected to the office of speaker of the constituent assembly (legislative) on 17 november 1947. with the adoption of the constitution of india on 26 november 1949, the nomenclature of the constituent assembly (legislative) was changed to the provisional parliament. mavalankar became the speaker of the provisional parliament on 26 november 1949 and continued to occupy the office till the first lok sabha was constituted in 1952.

the county legislative body serves an important role in exercising local approval authority for private acts when the private act does not call for referendum approval. private acts, which often give additional authority to counties, must be approved by a two-thirds vote of the members of the county legislative body or be approved by a referendum in order to become effective. the form of local approval required is specified in the private act. the county legislative body annually elects a chairman and a chairman pro tempore. the county legislative body may elect the county executive or a member of the body to be the chairman, although the county executive may refuse to serve. if the county executive is chairman, he or she may vote only to break a tie vote. if a member is chairman, the member votes as a member, but cannot vote again to break a tie. if the county executive is not chairman, he or she may veto most resolutions of the county legislative body, but this veto may be overridden by a majority vote. the majority vote that is required for this and the passage of resolutions or other measures is a majority of the entire actual membership of the county legislative body, and not a majority of the quorum, nor a majority of the authorized membership.
