CSHB 447(JUD)-2004 REVISOR'S BILL  PAMELA FINLEY, revisor of statutes, stated for the record that the purpose of the revisor bill is to clean up the statutes and remove errors. She advised that there is a sectional analysis accompanying the bill that explains each change. Many of the changes are clean ups from the Executive Orders (EO) from the previous session. A copy of the sectional analysis may be found in the bill file. SENATOR JOHN COWDERY recalled that she had come before him previously with revisions and asked when that was. MS. FINLEY explained that there is a revisor bill each year. CHAIR GARY STEVENS noted that this is quite an undertaking each year. MS. FINLEY explained that there are a number of ways to find the errors. When bills are prepared errors are noted, sometimes members of the public draw attention to errors, and the Attorney General's Office and other line agencies sometimes note errors. In addition to that, each year her office examines in depth between six and eight titles in statute and they often find errors that way. SENATOR COWDERY asked whether her office pays attention to the intent behind bills. MS. FINLEY replied that they do keep the intent in mind. There were no further questions. SENATOR STEDMAN made a motion to move CSHB 447(JUD) from committee with individual recommendations and attached fiscal notes. There being no objection, it was so ordered.
