Overview: Bill Number: H 3727, Title: Code Volume Replacement, Status: Roll call Yeas-0 Nays-101, Introduced: February 27, 2025, Classification: bill
Purpose and Intent: This bill aims to replace the existing state code volumes with updated and consolidated versions. The goal is to streamline the legal code by removing outdated, redundant, or conflicting provisions, and to improve the organization and accessibility of the state's laws.
Key Provisions:
- Authorizes the state's Law Revision Commission to review the entire code and identify sections that can be repealed, consolidated, or reorganized
- Requires the Commission to prepare replacement volumes that incorporate the approved changes
- Mandates that the replacement volumes be adopted as the official state code, superseding all previous versions
Affected Parties and Impacts:
- State government agencies and officials, who will need to reference and apply the updated code volumes
- Legal professionals, including attorneys, judges, and law enforcement, who will use the new code in their work
- The general public, who will have access to a more streamlined and user-friendly legal code
Procedural and Timeline Considerations:
The bill was recently voted down in a roll call vote, with 0 yeas and 101 nays. This indicates that the legislation does not currently have the support needed to pass. If the bill is reintroduced and revised, it would likely need to go through the full committee and floor vote process again before potentially becoming law.
