Plain-language change summary

The revised version of SB 2097 establishes the Joint Committee on Obsolete Laws and Programs, consisting of 12 members from the General Assembly, who will look into outdated laws and programs. This change shifts the responsibility from the Legislative Research Unit, which previously had to file an annual report on obsolete statutes, to a dedicated committee that will meet as needed and provide more focused oversight. This matters because having a committee specifically tasked with reviewing and possibly repealing outdated laws can lead to a more efficient legal framework and better allocation of state resources.
