I. Summary:
The Division of Law Revision of the Office of Legislative Services is required, by statute, to
conduct a systematic and continuing study of the Florida Statutes. The purpose of this study is to
recommend to the Legislature changes that will remove inconsistencies, redundancies, and
unnecessary repetition from the statutes; improve clarity and facilitate correct interpretation;
correct grammatical and typographical errors; delete obsolete, repealed, or superseded
provisions; and revise statutory provisions to conform to directives of the Legislature. These
recommendations are submitted to the Legislature in the form of technical, nonsubstantive
reviser’s bills.
This is a general reviser’s bill to delete expired or obsolete language; correct cross-references
and grammatical or typographical errors; remove inconsistencies and redundancies from the
statutes; improve the clarity of the statutes and facilitate their correct interpretation; confirm the
restoration of provisions unintentionally omitted from republication in the acts of the Legislature
during the amendatory process; and revise statutory provisions to conform to directives of the
Legislature. A reviser’s bill cannot be amended except to delete a bill section.
