SB 6666-S - DIGEST
(DIGEST OF PROPOSED 1ST SUBSTITUTE)

Finds that the ad hoc statutory construction work group should: (1) Take into account the relative values of the multiplicity of sources available to consider when seeking to determine the legislative intent of enacted law;

(2) Emphasize that legislative intent should be construed from sources beginning with the final action of the legislative body on a bill and moving backward in recognition of the collective nature of the legislature; and

(3) Take into consideration a suggested nonexclusive hierarchy of factors.
