SELECT COMMITTEE ON ARCHAIC LAWS

 

Standard Budget:   $5,000.00

 

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 Committee typically schedules one or two 1-day meetings during the year.
