Committee approves technical cleanups to natural-resources code
Summary
The committee approved a technical omnibus bill to revise outdated language, correct cross-references and repeal obsolete programs; the measure will be carried forward as a committee bill for the session.
The committee approved a draft omnibus measure to modernize and correct technical language in natural-resources statutes, repeal obsolete programs and clarify reporting deadlines.
Staff counsel explained the draft cleans up typographical errors and outdated title references, clarifies cross-references, and repeals the Emergency Water Resources Act and one other obsolete program. The changes are intended to align statutory language with current agency structures and reporting practices without creating new policy or changing substantive agency authority.
Committee action: the committee unanimously approved the technical amendments as a committee bill. Counsel said agencies had reviewed the changes and no substantive policy changes were included.
Ending: the measure will be carried as a committee bill for the legislative session; staff will circulate a final clean copy to members.
