Committee on Government
Overview
Directs the font color utilized by Legislative Council (Council) when preparing or revising
temporary law for bills and amendments.
History
Currently, Council must prepare and issue styles and forms for drafting bills and amendments for
the use of the Legislature. Additionally, the styles and forms utilized by Council for drafting
amendments must be developed and adopted in consultation with the Senate and House of
Representatives (A.R.S. § 41-1304).
Enacted provisions that have only a temporary application are not codified in statute and are
known as temporary laws. Temporary laws could be used, for example, to establish a study
committee or provide a temporary exemption from or suspension of statutory law (Legislative
Council).
