In continuation to what we reported earlier in the trail mail, the Kannada Language Comprehensive Development (Amendment) Act, 2024 (“Amendment Act”) has received assent of Governor. The Amendment Act will gain effect on such a date as the State Government will appoint later in the Official Gazette.
Under the Amendment Act, the name boards of Commercial, Industrial and Business Undertakings, Trusts, Counseling Centres, Hospitals, Laboratories, Amusement Centers and Hotels etc. (functioning with the approval and sanction of Government or Local Authorities) must ensure that their name board displays 60% in Kannada Language and Kannada must be displayed in upper half of name board.
