No one has voted against the 2017 edition of the Revisor’s bill.
Gov. Mark Dayton’s desk is the next stop for the annual, non-controversial legislation, after the House passed it by a unanimous vote of 134-0 Tuesday. The Senate passed HF1840/ SF1654* May 1 by a vote of 64-0.
The bill, sponsored by Rep. Peggy Scott (R-Andover) and Sen. Ron Latz (DFL-St. Louis Park), contains grammatical corrections, cross-reference fixes and other technical changes in laws, statutes and rules.
As with Revisor’s bills enacted over the last couple of years, this bill full of tiny fixes is itself hefty. In 2015, the Revisor’s bill ran to 94 pages and last year topped out at more than 300 pages. This year’s is 116 pages long.
