STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS27347 / S1334
The purpose of this bill is to make various codifier corrections and technical corrections to the Idaho Code. In
terms of the codifier corrections, the codifier, in compiling the new laws that are passed every year, occasionally
finds minor changes that should be made. They notify our editors of the code sections affected and then we
include those code sections in our yearly codifier bill.
These codifier corrections often are due to the enactment of multiple amendments to a particular code section,
chapter or title during a previous legislative session. Conflicts due to multiple amendments are indicated in
brackets in the Idaho Code by the codifier. This method of indicating codifier corrections is often confusing to
the reader.
In terms of technical corrections, those corrections are identified by the Legislative Services staff and include
changes involving lower and upper-case changes, grammar and punctuation.
Sometimes codifier and technical corrections are made the next time an affected code section is amended.
However, rather than waiting for future amendments to the various sections included, this bill addresses those
changes.
FISCAL NOTE
There is no fiscal impact as a result of this bill. The actions necessary to compile the bill are already being
performed by full-time LSO staff in the course of their duties. The only additional cost would be the cost
involved to print the bill. We estimate that cost to be roughly five cents per page. The bill is 49 pages long. We
generally print 51 copies resulting in a cost of $124.95. The costs are all fixed costs built into the budget.
