Labour20202 sections

This law amends the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act specifically for the state of Himachal Pradesh. Its main purpose is to raise the minimum age requirement for contract workers from twenty to thirty years. This change aims to protect younger workers by ensuring they are not employed in hazardous or strenuous jobs before they reach a more mature age. Additionally, the legislation repeals a previous ordinance issued in 2020 but confirms that any actions already taken under that ordinance remain legally valid. It came into effect on July 9, 2020.
