Committee approves repeal of a long-dormant financial services task force statute
Summary
A bill to repeal an obsolete statutory task force on financial service providers was adopted by the committee without opposition; sponsor framed the move as routine code cleanup.
The House Committee on Banking, Financial Services and Pensions approved a bill to repeal a statutory task force that completed its work in 2006 and was dissolved in 2007.
The sponsor argued the repeal is a housekeeping measure. "This repeal is a simple but necessary step towards streamlining our legal code," the sponsor said, noting the task force "was then dissolved by operation of law on 02/01/2007" and that "keeping it on the books serves no purpose." The sponsor also said the effort is part of a larger agenda to file repealer bills.
Committee members voiced support without substantive debate. The committee recorded an 8-0 vote to pass the repealer bill in committee.
The transcript does not specify the bill number for this repeal measure in the committee record; it was described as one of several repealer bills the sponsor has filed.
