Idaho Bills

Amends existing law to make codifier's corrections.

The purpose of this bill is to make various codifier corrections and technical corrections to the Idaho Code. In termsofthecodifiercorrections, thecodifier, incompilingthenewlawsthatarepassedeveryyear, 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. These codifier corrections often are due to the enactment of multiple amendments to a particular code section, chapter or title during a previous legislative session. 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. In terms of technical corrections, those corrections are identified by the Legislative Services staff and include 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.
