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 similar to the revisor's bill but contains changes to statutes which are more than purely technical corrections, as noted above.

 

● Archaic references repealed or amended by the act are those which refer to entities which no longer exist or have been renamed.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