Idaho Bills

Amends existing law to make codifier's corrections and to provide correct terminology and code references.

The purpose of this bill is to make various codifier corrections and technical corrections to the Idaho Code. In terms of the codifier corrections, the codifier, in compiling the new laws that are passed every year, occasionally finds minor changes that should be made. They notify our editors of the code sections affected and then we include those code sections in our yearly codifier bill.

Conflicts due to multiple amendments are indicated in brackets in the Idaho Code by the codifier. This method of indicating codifier corrections is often confusing to the reader. Intermsoftechnicalcorrections,thosecorrectionsareidentifiedbytheLegislativeServicesstaffandinclude changes involving lower and upper case changes, grammar and punctuation. Sometimes codifier and technical corrections are made the next time an affected code section is amended. However, rather than waiting for future amendments to the various sections included, this bill addresses those changes.
