Delegation of State legislative power under proclamation lets Parliament empower the President and preserve laws enacted under that authority. Parliament may confer on the President the State Legislature's power to make laws during a Proclamation under article 356, and the President may delegate that power to specified authorities; such lawmaking may include conferring powers or duties on the Union or its officers and authorising interim expenditure from the State Consolidated Fund. Laws enacted under these conferred powers continue in force after the Proclamation ends until altered, repealed or amended by a competent Legislature or authority.
