MINOR

The bill was transitioned from a House substitute version to a perfected Senate version, resulting in a significant reduction of repealed statutes and enacted sections. Specifically, the scope of repeal was narrowed by removing references to sections 23.010, 23.050, 23.060, 23.080, 23.090, 23.140, 23.150, 23.160, 23.170, 23.195, and 23.262, and the number of new sections was reduced from twenty to eleven. This change likely reflects a legislative decision to limit the bill's impact to only the most critical statutes regarding the joint committee on legislative research, rather than overhauling the entire statutory revision framework.

Scope change

The bill's scope was narrowed; it now repeals fewer existing statutes and enacts fewer new sections compared to the previous House version.

SCOPE

The repeal of specific statutes (23.010, 23.050, 23.060, 23.080, 23.090, 23.140, 23.150, 23.160, 23.170, 23.195, and 23.262) was removed, meaning these laws will no longer be abolished by this bill.

The total number of new sections to be enacted was reduced from twenty to eleven, indicating a smaller legislative footprint for the joint committee on legislative research.

TECHNICAL

The bill header was updated to reflect its status as a 'Perfected' Senate version introduced by Senator Bernskoetter, replacing the 'House Committee Substitute' designation.
