The Jammu and Kashmir Jan Vishwas Second (Amendment of Provisions) Act, 2026, is a legislative measure designed to improve the ease of doing business and living by decriminalizing minor technical or procedural defaults. It functions as an omnibus amendment act, modifying various existing state laws listed in its schedules to replace criminal penalties with monetary fines or administrative penalties. By reducing the burden of criminal litigation for minor infractions, the Act fosters a trust-based governance environment. It ensures that while past legal actions remain valid, future compliance is handled through more proportionate, non-punitive measures, benefiting citizens and businesses alike.
