DIGEST 

The Texas Legislative Council is required by law (Section 323.007,
Government Code) to carry out a complete nonsubstantive revision of the
Texas statutes.  The process involves reclassifying and rearranging the
statutes in a more logical order; employing a numbering system and format
that will accommodate future expansion of the law; eliminating repealed,
invalid, duplicative, and other ineffective provisions; and improving the
draftsmanship of the law if practicable.  These efforts are carried out in
order to make the statutes more accessible, understandable, and usable
without altering the sense, meaning, or effect of the law.  This bill makes
nonsubstantive revisions to and corrections in enacted codes, including the
nonsubstantive codification of various laws omitted from enacted codes, and
to conforming codifications enacted by the 75th Legislature to other Acts
of that legislature.
