Govt moves bill to decriminalise laws for businesses, individuals

An overhaul of the 153-year-old Cattle Trespass Act will decriminalise key offences, replace jail terms with financial penalties and route collected fines to animal welfare. The definition of cattle, so far limited to bovines, is being expanded to include camels, buffaloes, horses, pigs, sheep and goats. Govt has proposed to reduce the jail term for interfering with seized items, such as food and vehicles, under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, from a maximum of six months to three months.
