The Gujarat Unprotected Manual Workers (Regulation of Employment and Welfare) (Repeal) Act, 2022

This Gujarat state act serves to officially eliminate an older piece of legislation that previously regulated the employment and welfare of unprotected manual workers. By repealing the 1979 Act, the state seeks to remove outdated legal requirements and streamline its regulatory system. While the specific protections and schemes for manual laborers are discontinued, the operational mechanism for this change is secured by the General Clauses Act of 1904. This ensures a smooth administrative transition for both workers and employers, effectively cleaning up the legal code without creating immediate gaps in governance or oversight.
