Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does codify
mean?
To organize into a code or system, such as a body of law. Renumbering
and reorganizing sections results in an easier to comprehend, and more user
friendly code.
2. What is a recodification?
A recodification is a maintenance function of state laws to provide increased
reader clarity, accessability, and usability. A recodification can renumber
and reorganize existing sections, correct cross-references affected by the
renumbering, and change "articles" to "parts." It can
make grammatical, gender neutral, structural,and other technical changes.
A recodification does not usually include substantive changes.
3. When are recodifications
of our laws needed?
Recodifications are needed when the laws become scattered and outdated.
Laws that are clear and accessible are more likely to be understood, obeyed,
and enforced. Each year the legislature passes bills that enact, repeal, amend,
renumber, and re-enact sections of the Utah Code, and the recodification process
allows the compilation of laws to be reset into a more logical, systematic,
and updated body.
4. Who is responsible
for recodifying the laws?
As the lawmaking branch of state government, the legislature has responsibility
for maintenance of the Utah Code, which contains the state's statutes (laws).
The decision
to recodify titles of the Utah Code is typically made by legislative interim
committees that study issues affected by specific titles. The
committees initiate recodifications of titles, chapters, or parts within the
committee's assigned subject area. Under the committee's direction, committee
staff prepares recodification legislation for committee review and approval
during the interim. The
approved legislation is introduced and passed by the legislature during an
annual session. Many recodifications of certain titles are extensive and
some are prepared in phases over two to three year periods.
5. How is the Utah
Code organized?
The Utah Code is organized numerically by title. Each title is divided
into chapters, parts, or sections. The recodification process usually affects
chapters, parts, and sections in one title, but it can affect additional titles.
