A bill for an act relating to statutory corrections which may adjust language to reflect current practices, insert earlier omissions, delete redundancies and inaccuracies, resolve inconsistencies and conflicts, remove ambiguities, and provide for Code editor directives.

SF 396 is a procedural bill that corrects language inconsistencies, redundancies, and errors in Iowa's existing statutes. It amends specific sections across multiple codes (e.g., fixing typos in §8.76, clarifying definitions in §68B.2, updating gift-reporting requirements in §68B.22A) to ensure laws are clear and consistent. The bill directly affects how state agencies interpret and apply current laws, but does not create new policies or funding. It focuses solely on refining existing legal text for accuracy and usability, with no new obligations for citizens or businesses.
