Subject:  General revision of obsolete statutes and corrections of statutes.

Summary/Major Elements:

● This act is part of a multi-year process to clean-up statutes which have been ruled unconstitutional, had sunset dates which have been reached but still appear in the published statutes, contain incorrect citations or are otherwise archaic.

● The act is akin to the revisor's bill but contains changes to statutes which are more than purely technical corrections, as noted above.

● The act also amends statutes which have been interpreted by courts in a manner which makes certain provisions obsolete, though not necessarily unconstitutional.

● Archaic references repealed or amended by the act are those which refer to entities which no longer exist or have been renamed.

● The act eliminates delayed effective dates or 'grandfathering' provisions which have been fully implemented.

● The act also updates statutory cross references to acts that have had sections added or deleted.

● The act amends the authority of the legislative service office, in compiling and printing statutes, to delete obsolete or fully executed date references.
