The Delhi Bed and Breakfast Establishments (Repeal) Bill, 2026 seeks to repeal the 2007 Act and its amendments. The Bill, likely to be taken up on August 10, includes a clause to keep existing registrations valid. The government says a more flexible policy is being formulated. Times of India reports that fresh registrations will stay in abeyance during the transition, while pending penalties and legal proceedings under the old law will continue. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Tags: B&B law, bed and breakfast, Delhi, fire safety, Kapil Mishra, tourism regulation Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/delhi-govt-moves-to-repeal-19-year-old-bb-law-after-fire/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
