BILL ANALYSIS C.S.S.B. 1296 By: West State Affairs Committee Report (Substituted) BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The Texas Legislative Council is required by law (Section 323.007, Government Code) to carry out a complete nonsubstantive revision of the Texas statutes. The process involves reclassifying and rearranging the statutes in a more logical order, employing a numbering system and format that will accommodate future expansion of the law, eliminating repealed, invalid, duplicative, and other ineffective provisions, and improving the draftsmanship of the law if practicable--all toward promoting the stated purpose of making the statutes "more accessible, understandable, and usable" without altering the sense, meaning, or effect of the law. As part of the duties relating to continuing statutory revision, the council: (1) monitors the acts of each session and proposes nonsubstantive codifications of laws that should be included in previously enacted codes; (2) identifies duplicate official citations in enacted codes and proposes appropriate renumbering; (3) identifies organizational, reference, and terminology problems in enacted codes and nonsubstantively corrects those problems; and (4) makes necessary corrections to enacted codes to conform the codes to the source law from which they were derived. Section 43, Article III, Texas Constitution, specifically recognized this type of bill as a "revision" for purposes of the legislature's obligation under that section to provide for the revising of laws. As such a revision, the bill is not subject to the constitutional rule prohibiting more than one subject in a single bill or the rule prohibiting amendments by reference. This bill has the purposes of: (1) codifying without substantive change various statutes that were omitted from enacted codes; (2) renumbering sections and articles of codes that duplicate section and article numbers; (3) correcting without substantive change organizational, reference, and terminology problems; and (4) making necessary corrections to enacted codes to conform the codes to the source law from which they were derived. CRIMINAL JUSTICE IMPACT It is the committee's opinion that this bill does not expressly create a criminal offense, increase the punishment for an existing criminal offense or category of offenses, or change the eligibility of a person for community supervision, parole, or mandatory supervision. RULEMAKING AUTHORITY It is the committee's opinion that this bill does not expressly grant any additional rulemaking authority to a state officer, department, agency, or institution. ANALYSIS C.S.S.B. 1296 makes corrections to the codes, conforms other laws to the codes, and codifies other existing laws as new provisions in the codes. The bill makes various nonsubstantive amendments to enacted codes, including amendments to conform the codes to acts of previous legislatures, correct references and terminology, properly organize and number the law, and codify other law that properly belongs in those codes. The bill renumbers and reletters provisions of enacted codes and changes references to eliminate duplicated citations and correct corresponding references. The bill provides that it is a nonsubstantive revision that does not affect other acts of the 84th Legislature. EFFECTIVE DATE September 1, 2015.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE
The Texas Legislative Council is required by law (Section 323.007, Government Code) to carry out a complete nonsubstantive revision of the Texas statutes. The process involves reclassifying and rearranging the statutes in a more logical order, employing a numbering system and format that will accommodate future expansion of the law, eliminating repealed, invalid, duplicative, and other ineffective provisions, and improving the draftsmanship of the law if practicable--all toward promoting the stated purpose of making the statutes "more accessible, understandable, and usable" without altering the sense, meaning, or effect of the law.
As part of the duties relating to continuing statutory revision, the council: (1) monitors the acts of each session and proposes nonsubstantive codifications of laws that should be included in previously enacted codes; (2) identifies duplicate official citations in enacted codes and proposes appropriate renumbering; (3) identifies organizational, reference, and terminology problems in enacted codes and nonsubstantively corrects those problems; and (4) makes necessary corrections to enacted codes to conform the codes to the source law from which they were derived.
Section 43, Article III, Texas Constitution, specifically recognized this type of bill as a "revision" for purposes of the legislature's obligation under that section to provide for the revising of laws. As such a revision, the bill is not subject to the constitutional rule prohibiting more than one subject in a single bill or the rule prohibiting amendments by reference.
This bill has the purposes of: (1) codifying without substantive change various statutes that were omitted from enacted codes; (2) renumbering sections and articles of codes that duplicate section and article numbers; (3) correcting without substantive change organizational, reference, and terminology problems; and (4) making necessary corrections to enacted codes to conform the codes to the source law from which they were derived.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE IMPACT
It is the committee's opinion that this bill does not expressly create a criminal offense, increase the punishment for an existing criminal offense or category of offenses, or change the eligibility of a person for community supervision, parole, or mandatory supervision.
RULEMAKING AUTHORITY
It is the committee's opinion that this bill does not expressly grant any additional rulemaking authority to a state officer, department, agency, or institution.
ANALYSIS
C.S.S.B. 1296 makes corrections to the codes, conforms other laws to the codes, and codifies other existing laws as new provisions in the codes. The bill makes various nonsubstantive amendments to enacted codes, including amendments to conform the codes to acts of previous legislatures, correct references and terminology, properly organize and number the law, and codify other law that properly belongs in those codes. The bill renumbers and reletters provisions of enacted codes and changes references to eliminate duplicated citations and correct corresponding references. The bill provides that it is a nonsubstantive revision that does not affect other acts of the 84th Legislature.
EFFECTIVE DATE
September 1, 2015.
