Impact

The resolution ensures that technical accuracy is maintained in legislative documents, which is crucial for effective governance and legal clarity. By correcting the language, HCR148 aims to prevent potential misinterpretations of the law once House Bill 928 is enacted. This is particularly important as inaccuracies in legislative texts can lead to significant legal complications and challenges in implementation.

Summary

HCR148 is a concurrent resolution aimed at instructing the enrolling clerk of the house to make necessary corrections to House Bill No. 928, which has been adopted by both the house of representatives and the senate. The resolution identifies specific technical errors in the bill that require amendment prior to final enrollment. Primarily, it focuses on correcting language within Section 8 of the bill, specifically regarding the Local Government Code related to water resource projects.

Contention

While the bill itself addresses a specific technical issue without major points of contention in its discussions, it emphasizes the legislature's responsibility to ensure the integrity of drafted legislation. Such corrections are typically procedural, but they highlight the ongoing need for diligent review of legislative documents to uphold the legislative process's standards.
