I found top awesome laws Maharashtra Government should make in Maharashtra in India

Here are some **top awesome, forward-thinking laws** that the **Maharashtra Government** could introduce (or strengthen significantly) to make the state even more progressive, livable, sustainable, and economically dominant in India.

These suggestions address Maharashtra's unique challenges like rapid urbanization (especially in Mumbai-Pune-Nashik corridor), water scarcity, farmer distress in Vidarbha/Marathwada, massive migration, pollution, housing crises, and the goal of becoming a **$1 trillion+ economy**.

### 1. **Right to Clean Air & Water Act (Maharashtra-specific)**

Make access to clean air (AQI <100 for 300+ days/year) and potable water a **fundamental right** enforceable in courts.  

Mandate:  

- Massive urban tree credits/tax rebates for green buildings  

- Strict penalties on polluting industries (auto-shutdown after 3 violations)  

- Mandatory rainwater harvesting + groundwater recharge pits in every new building/plot  

- Desalination plants along the coast with public-private partnerships  

This would position Maharashtra as India's first state with enforceable "right to breathable air", solving Mumbai's pollution nightmare and Marathwada's water crisis.

### 2. **Maharashtra Universal Urban Basic Income Pilot Law (for Slum & Migrant Workers)**

Launch a 3–5 year pilot giving ₹3,000–5,000/month direct transfer to adult residents of notified slums + registered migrant workers (via Aadhaar-linked database).  

Tie it to skill training + digital literacy + family planning incentives.  

Fund it partly through a small "Urban Congestion & Migration Cess" on high-end properties and large commercial establishments in MMR/Pune.

This would reduce extreme poverty, improve migrant dignity, and stabilize workforce in India's most migrated-to state.

### 3. **Farmer Income & Climate Resilience Guarantee Act**

Guarantee minimum ₹25,000–30,000/month income support to small & marginal farmers (via DBT) when market + insurance + govt schemes fall short.  

Include:  

- Mandatory crop insurance linkage with zero premium for first 2 hectares  

- Massive push for drip/micro-irrigation + solar pumps (100% subsidy in drought zones)  

- Legal right to sell produce directly to consumers via farmer markets/apps without mandi restrictions  

Maharashtra has the highest farmer suicides — this could dramatically reduce distress.

### 4. **Night-shift & Women Safety Employment Revolution Act (Enhanced Shops & Establishments)**

Build on 2025 amendments and make Maharashtra the safest state for women in night jobs:  

- Mandatory panic buttons + AI CCTV + female security in every establishment >20 workers allowing night shifts  

- Free transport for women in night shifts (company-provided or subsidized Ola/Uber type)  

- 30% higher overtime pay rate for night shifts (after 10 PM)  

- Fast-track courts for workplace harassment cases (disposal in 90 days)

This would attract global BPO/IT/ manufacturing companies while protecting women.

### 5. **Maharashtra Coastal & Western Ghats Protection & Tourism Super Act**

Create a special eco-tourism zone law:  

- Zero new construction in Western Ghats eco-sensitive zones (except eco-friendly homestays)  

- 100% green tax rebate for sustainable tourism projects  

- Mandatory 30% revenue share from tourism to local villages  

- Severe penalties (including jail) for illegal hill-cutting/quarrying  

This protects biodiversity while turning Sahyadri & Konkan into world-class sustainable tourism goldmines (like Kerala but better).

### 6. **One State – One Transparent Property & Redevelopment Law**

Combine and simplify:  

- Single-window digital registration across Maharashtra (no regional variations)  

- Cap redevelopment consent at 51% (with safeguards)  

- Mandatory transparent bidding for redevelopment projects  

- Fast-track courts for housing society disputes (6-month disposal)  

This would speed up redevelopment in old Mumbai buildings, reduce corruption, and unlock huge urban housing potential.

### 7. **Maharashtra Extreme Heat & Climate Adaptation Act**

Declare heatwaves above 42°C as "natural disaster" with:  

- Mandatory cool shelters in every municipal ward  

- Paid heat leave (2–3 days) for outdoor workers  

- White/green roofing mandates for all new buildings  

- Urban cooling fund from builders' premiums  

With rising temperatures, this would make Maharashtra the most climate-resilient big state.

These laws would make Maharashtra not just India's richest state, but also its **most livable, inclusive, and future-ready** one — something to genuinely be proud of!
