Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 44, November 2, 2024
(a) Use. Reenactments of existing statutes are used to:
(b) Form. The form of a reenactment is the same as that for an amendment, with the exception that the recital is "is reenacted" instead of "is amended." If a reenactment includes a change in the provision being reenacted, the recital is, "is reenacted and amended."
(c) Original enactments. Another form of reenactment, not designated as such, is the setting up in the form of original legislation the provisions of an existing statute or a number of statutes. In these cases, the statute or statutes to be incorporated in the new bill are always specifically cited for repeal either absolutely or to the extent which they are covered by the new enactment.
