The record

Written by software from the 1 report below. The points restate them; where one says why it matters, that is Prism's reading, not a reported fact.

The Odisha Jan Vishwas Bill, 2026, aims to ease the business environment by reducing the fear of imprisonment and excessive fines for minor, procedural, or technical violations.
The bill proposes replacing criminal penalties with financial fines for small offenses to unclog the legal system and allow for better focus on serious criminal matters.
Serious crimes involving fraud, illegal use of natural resources, or environmental hazards will remain subject to strict penalties.
The bill has been sent to the Business Advisory Committee to schedule a date for legislative discussion.
