Committee approves HB 1340 to remove outdated code language
Summary
The Senate Insurance & Commerce Committee passed House Bill 1340 on a voice vote after a presenter described the measure as striking obsolete statutory language identified with judges, prosecutors and credit unions; no public opposition was recorded.
The Senate Insurance & Commerce Committee voted to pass House Bill 1340 after a presenter told members the measure removes outmoded provisions from state code.
A presenter said the bill follows consultations with judges, prosecutors and credit unions and “decided that this was old language that simply needs to be stricken from the code.” No members of the public spoke for or against the bill during the committee meeting.
Senator Teague moved that the committee give the bill a “do pass” recommendation; Senator Chesterfield seconded. The committee adopted the recommendation by voice vote.
The committee chair said the item was part of normal housekeeping and technical cleanup; the panel also discussed a larger package of code-revision items that staff plan to batch and take up next week if agencies raise no objections. The bill record did not show a roll-call tally or any amendments.
