STUDIES
2012 INTERIM
SELECT COMMITTEE ON ARCHAIC
LAWS
Standard Budget:
$2,500.00
Priority #: 1 General Responsibilities
Created by Management Council, the Select Committee on
Archaic Laws is engaged in a long term project to review and recommend to
Management Council legislation to amend or repeal archaic statutes. The Committee is charged with addressing the
following types of issues: update references to federal or state citations
which have been amended over the years when the existing reference is clearly
inaccurate; repeal provisions held to be unconstitutional in whole or in part;
repeal or amend laws which no longer appear to be pertinent due to the passage
of time or historic practices. The Select Committee may occasionally request
Management Council to refer substantive issues to one or more of the Joint
Interim Committees for consideration.
Tentative Meeting Schedule.
The Select Committee will likely
schedule one or two 1-day meetings during the year.
