Proposed law provides for re-creation of those agencies, effective June 30, 2014, in accordance
with the "sunset" law. Supersedes the provisions of the "sunset" law which sets out the
procedure for review and re-creation and which require a separate bill to re-create each statutory

termination date, and termination will begin July 1, 2018, unless the agency is again re-created.
Effective June 30, 2014.
