CS FOR SENATE BILL NO. 42(JUD) "An Act making corrective amendments to the Alaska Statutes as recommended by the reviser of statutes; and providing for an effective date." JAMES CRAWFORD, Assistant Reviser of Statutes, Division of Legal Services, Legislative Affairs Agency, testified. He said the area of most concern to the committee would probably be Section 21. This addressed an internal numbering reference within an appropriations bill. Between versions of that bill, the section numbering changed and two numbers were skipped. This would correct that and make the changes retroactive to the effective date of the original legislation. He explained the reason for the error was that the original sections contained effective dates that failed to receive the required super-majority vote to be adopted. As a consequence, when the bill was reprinted those sections were removed but the remaining sections were not renumbered properly. Co-Chair John Torgerson clarified that this bill contained technical corrections to previously adopted statutes. James Crawford confirmed and detailed. Co-Chair John Torgerson asked about the different versions of this bill adopted by past committees. James Crawford spoke about changes to more controversial sections of the bill that did not apply to the Senate Finance Committee. Those sections addressed the criminal justice system and were separated into a supplemental reviser's bill. Senator Dave Donley made a motion to move CS SB 42 (JUD) from committee. Without objection, it was so ordered.
