Bill > HB3992

This bill proposes technical amendments to several sections of the Revised Code of Washington (RCW) related to the numbering and organization of state laws. Specifically, the bill updates provisions concerning the 1950 Supplement to the Revised Code of Washington, which was an effort to consolidate, revise, and renumber state laws of a general and permanent nature. The amendments clarify the process for numbering and renumbering sections of the code, authorizing the use of a specific numbering system where chapters and sections can be assigned new numbers according to a standardized approach. The bill grants the secretary of state the authority to renumber sections before publication, ensuring that amended sections bear their correct new numbers and are properly correlated. These changes are primarily administrative in nature and aim to maintain consistency and clarity in the organization of Washington state laws, building upon the original 1950 supplemental codification effort.
