<h1>Government refers Jan Vishwas (Amendment of Provisions) Bill, 2025 to Select Committee to decriminalise 350+ offences</h1> The government introduced the Jan Vishwas (Amendment of Provisions) Bill, 2025 in the Lok Sabha and referred it to a Select Committee tasked to report by the first day of the next parliamentary session. The bill proposes amending over 350 provisions to decriminalise certain minor offences to promote ease of living and ease of doing business and to advance trust-based governance. Proceedings were disrupted by Opposition protests over unrelated issues, leading to an adjournment. The measure follows a 2023 amendment that decriminalised 183 provisions across multiple central Acts.
