Purpose

This bill aims to undo a previously enacted state law and set up a process for removing that law from the books. It does this by repealing a 2024 law and requiring state agencies and constitutional offices to propose new legislation to complete the repeal.

Main Provisions

• Repealer of Laws 2024 chapter 127

  • The bill repeals Laws 2024 chapter 127. The repeal is described as retroactive, meaning the law would be treated as if it had never been in effect from an established date in May 2024.

• Conforming legislation requirement

  • By January 15, 2026, each executive branch agency, board, and every constitutional office must submit to the legislature draft legislation that would achieve the repeal of Laws 2024 chapter 127 by July 1, 2026.
  • This requirement is called for to align or harmonize (conform) existing laws with the repeal.

Scope and Affected Entities

• Affected government bodies

  • Executive branch agencies and boards
  • Each constitutional office

• Purpose of affected bodies’ action

  • To prepare and submit proposed laws (draft legislation) that would implement the repeal effectively.

Timeline and Deadlines

• Repeal timing

  • The law specifies a retroactive repeal date in May 2024 (the exact date is indicated in the bill’s repealer section).

• Submission deadline for draft legislation

  • January 15, 2026: Agencies/offices must submit draft legislation to the legislature.

• Target date to complete repeal through conforming legislation

  • July 1, 2026: The proposed conforming legislation should achieve the repeal by this date.

Significance and Practical Impact

• What changes for the law

  • Removes the 2024 chapter 127 from effect (as if it never existed from the retroactive date).
