(a) The Legislative Commissioners' Office in consultation with the joint legislative committee on government administration and elections shall, in codifying the provisions of public act 77-614 and the public acts of 1977 and 1978, make name and title and such technical, grammatical and punctuation changes and statutory placements and classifications, including but not limited to the addition of newly enacted material to existing statute sections and the reclassification of entire existing statute sections or parts of such sections as are necessary to carry out the purposes of public act 77-614. The Legislative Commissioners' Office, in editing public act 77-614, shall treat an internal reference to any part of the general statutes in any section of public act 77-614 as a reference to that part of the general statutes as it was amended by any section of public act 77-614 when such a reading is required to accomplish the purposes of public act 77-614.

(b) Wherever in public act 77-614, the words “either house of” are bracketed following the words “the Governor shall with the advice and consent of” or other words giving the Governor the authority to make an appointment, such brackets shall be removed.

(P.A. 77-614, S. 587, 595, 610; P.A. 78-303, S. 85, 136; P.A. 79-31, S. 11, 17.)

*Note: Public act 77-614 is entitled “An Act Concerning the Reorganization of the Executive Branch of State Government”. (See Reference Table captioned “Public Acts of 1977” in Volume 16 which lists the sections amended, created or repealed by the act.)

History: P.A. 78-303 extended scope of legislative commissioners' powers in codifying P.A. 77-614 to include name and title changes and statutory placements with regard to that act and 1977 and 1978 acts generally to effect the reorganization of the executive branch; P.A. 79-31 replaced the word “policy” with “elections” in committee's name.
