The Rajya Sabha on Wednesday passed a Bill to repeal 76 laws that are obsolete or that have been made redundant by other laws.
The Repealing and Amending Bill, 2023, was passed through voice vote in the Upper House after a short debate with the participation of eight legislators in the discussion, as almost the entire Opposition walked out of the House on the issue of security breaches in the Lok Sabha.
Besides repealing 76 obsolete laws, the Bill seeks to correct a minor drafting error in the Factoring Regulation Act, 2011.
