Revising and updating statutes bill going to governor

A long list of language changes proposed by legislators could clean up existing state statutes. 

Sponsored by Rep. Dennis Smith (R-Maple Grove) and Sen. Warren Limmer (R-Maple Grove), HF2797/ SF3113* would amend statute language by correcting erroneous, ambiguous, or omitted text and obsolete references. It would also remove redundant, conflicting, and superseded provisions, and make miscellaneous corrections to laws, statutes, and rules.

Passed 128-1 by the House Friday, it now heads to the governor. It was passed 60-0 by the Senate April 26.

“This bill is strictly technical in nature,” Smith said.

The Office of Revisor’s bill contains 309 pages of proposed language changes to sections such as health care, working training and development, debt collection requirements and other miscellaneous statutes.

 None of the changes are considered controversial.
