abolishes

Does away with

Abolishes is the present-tense form of abolish, meaning to formally end or do away with something, typically a system, practice, or institution: The new law abolishes the death penalty.

The word implies official or authoritative action rather than gradual disappearance—governments abolish policies, organizations abolish rules.
