§ 424. Legislative Council; revision authority
In preparing an individual act for codification in the Vermont Statutes Annotated or publication in the Acts and Resolves, the Legislative Council may not alter the sense, meaning, or effect of any act of the General Assembly, but it may:
(1) renumber and rearrange sections or parts of sections;
(2) transfer sections or divide sections so as to give separate section numbers to distinct subject matters, but without changing the meaning;
(3) insert or change the wording of headnotes;
(4) change reference numbers to agree with renumbered chapters or sections;
(5) substitute the proper section or chapter number for the terms "this act," "the preceding section," and similar terms;
(6) strike out figures where they are merely a repetition of written words and vice versa;
(7) change capitalization, effect gender neutrality, and make other grammatical corrections for the purpose of conformity with the style of the Vermont Statutes Annotated;
(8) correct manifest typographical and grammatical errors;
(9) make any changes in any of the forms provided as guides which may be necessitated by changes in the substantive law;
(10) correct the names of agencies, departments, and similar units of State government; and
(11) make any other purely formal or clerical changes in keeping with the purposes of revision. (Added 2001, No. 30, § 1; amended 2013, No. 5, § 2, eff. April 23, 2013.)
