Summary of LC 3915 — Generally revise laws and definitions

Overview

  • Bill Number: LC 3915
  • Title: Generally revise laws and definitions
  • Subject: State Government
  • Classification: bill
  • Introduced: December 15, 2024
  • Status: Draft (LC) - Died in Process; with interim notes indicating drafting actions and holds

Purpose and intent

  • Based on the title and the available record, LC 3915 was proposed to undertake a broad revision of laws and statutory definitions across the state government. The explicit text of the bill is not provided in the record, so the exact scope, targeted definitions, and intended reforms remain unspecified.
  • Generally, a bill with this framing aims to improve consistency, clarity, and modernization of statutory language and to align terms used across multiple statutes and regulatory programs.

Key provisions (public text not available)

  • The record does not include the bill’s language or specific provisions. Consequently, you cannot identify exact definitions or statutes that would be amended.
  • In typical such proposals, provisions might include:
    • Updating cross-references and terminology used in multiple statutes.
    • Harmonizing definitions to reduce ambiguity.
    • Revising outdated terms to reflect current policy or administrative practice.
    • Clarifying authority, responsibilities, or eligibility criteria tied to defined terms.
  • Because no text is provided, the above are general possibilities rather than designated changes.

Potential impact (high-level)

  • Agencies and programs: If enacted, revised definitions could impact how programs administer eligibility, licensing, reporting, and compliance across state government.
  • Administrative processes: Updates to definitions may necessitate revisions to rules, forms, databases, and IT systems to reflect new terminology.
  • Stakeholders: Businesses, individuals, and nonprofit entities regulated by state statutes could experience changes in interpretation, requirements, or interaction with state agencies.
  • Transitional considerations: Depending on how definitions are revised, there may be need for transition provisions to minimize disruption and interpretive confusion.

Status and timeline

  • Introduced: December 15, 2024 (Drafter Assigned)
  • 2025-02-17: Draft On Hold
  • 2025-05-22: Draft Died in Process
  • Note: The “Died in Process” designation indicates the bill did not advance and is not expected to become law in its current draft. The on-hold status suggests it was paused at some point, but no final movement to enactment occurred.
