Committee approves batch of technical-code corrections (House Bills 1355–1364)
Summary
The committee voted to hear and recommend a batch of technical code‑revision bills (House Bills 13‑55 through 13‑64). Sponsors and code‑revision staff characterized the measures as nonsubstantive technical corrections.
The Senate Judiciary Committee approved a batch of technical corrections to state code statutes, covering House Bills 13‑55 through 13‑64, after the Code Revision Commission’s representative described them as non‑substantive.
Sen. Clark Tucker, who presented the batch, told the committee the Code Revision Commission and legislative members had vetted the measures and that the bills correct drafting errors and obsolete language. As an example, counsel said one correction removes wording that referred to a "class A misdemeanor" for a crime that is a felony.
The committee moved to consider the bills as a group, adopted the procedural motion, and later voted to recommend the batch do pass. Senators noted the bills were technical in nature and had been reviewed by multiple legislative staff and commission members.
The transcript records committee procedural motions to batch and to recommend do pass; no substantive opposition or public testimony appeared on the record.
