Gujarat Legislative Assembly legislative proceedings

The Gujarat Legislative Assembly has been engaged in introducing and passing several significant amendment bills. Initial proceedings included the introduction of legislation concerning Goods and Services Tax (GST) relief for traders, the regularization of old land transactions, and new regulations for livestock and poultry feed.

Other legislative actions focused on the education sector, specifically through the Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Amendment Bill, which aims to establish legal frameworks for recruitment in government-aided private schools.

Subsequently, the Assembly unanimously passed the Gujarat Rent Bill, 2026. This new law replaces the 1947 Bombay Rents, Hotel and Lodging House Rates Control Act, establishing a modern framework for residential and commercial rentals. The bill mandates written agreements, introduces a digital registration platform, caps security deposits at three months' rent, and prohibits landlords from disconnecting essential services. To manage conflicts, the legislation implements a three-tier dispute resolution system involving a Rent Authority, a Rent Court, and a Rent Tribunal.
