HCS SB 884 -- REPUBLICATION OF STATUTES SPONSOR: Klindt (Lager) COMMITTEE ACTION: Voted "do pass by consent" by the Committee on Judiciary by a vote of 16 to 0. This substitute instructs the Revisor of Statutes to take certain actions when the Missouri Supreme Court or a federal court rules that a bill or a state statute is unconstitutional. If a repealed or amended statute is affected, the revisor will reprint the statute as it existed before the enactment of the bill that was declared unconstitutional. If a new statute is affected, the revisor will publish a footnote indicating the court decision and explaining the reason for the removal of the statute. FISCAL NOTE: No impact on state funds in FY 2005, FY 2006, and FY 2007. PROPONENTS: Supporters say that the bill gives the Revisor of Statutes the authority to republish sections of law passed by the General Assembly that are affected by constitutional court rulings. Testifying for the bill was Senator Klindt. OPPONENTS: There was no opposition voiced to the committee. Amy Woods, Legislative Analyst
