                              SYNOPSIS AS ENACTED

Brief Description:  Correcting certain double amendments from the 1991 regular session.

SPONSORS:Senators Nelson and A. Smith; by request of Statute Law Committee.

SENATE COMMITTEE ON LAW & JUSTICE

BACKGROUND:

The objective of 24 sections of HB 1115 from the 1991 Regular Session (C 3 L 91), the Department of Health corrections bill, has been made superfluous by amendments contained in other legislation.  Section 47 of SB 5107 from the 1991 Regular Session (C 72 L 91) corrected obsolete references in the corporations code; other amendatory legislation made these references superfluous.

The Code Reviser's office was directed by SHB 1270 from the 1991 Regular Session (C 35 L 91), regarding state retirement systems, to not give effect to amendments contained therein that conflict with other amendments of the same section.  The Code Reviser believes a reenactment of the relevant sections is necessary to accomplish the legislative intent.

SUMMARY:

Twenty-four sections of HB 1115 from the 1991 Regular Session (C 3 L 91) are repealed.  Section 47 of SB 5107 from the 1991 Regular Session (C 72 L 91) is repealed.  Several sections of the Revised Code of Washington dealing with retirement systems and 1991 legislation amending them are reenacted.
