"[1] The Repealing and Amending Bill, 2014 was introduced in the Lok Sabha on 11 August 2014 by the Minister of Law and Justice, Ravi Shankar Prasad.
[2][3] The bill was referred to the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Personnel, Public Grievances, Law and Justice on 22 September.
The report recommended that the bill be passed, however, it opposed the repeal of the Manual Scavenging and Construction of Dry Latrines (Prohibition) Act, 1993.
The Committee also suggested that the government consider adding a sunset clause to amending act to ensure that they would be repealed automatically and would not remain in the statute books after their purpose was achieved.
The bill received assent from President Pranab Mukherjee on 13 May 2015, and was notified in The Gazette of India on the same day.
