Senator Johnston, prime sponsor, presented Senate Bill 16-163.

OLLS must solicit input, including estimates of the fiscal impact, from the Judicial Department, specified state agencies, local governments with regulatory authority, representatives of the regulated professions and occupations, and the public. The bill also provides some guidelines directing the study.



OLLS must begin the study in the 2016 interim and provide periodic updates to the Committee on Legal Services. No later than December 31, 2017, the committee must decide whether OLLS will provide the committee proposed legislation to recodify Title 12. The bill is repealed September 1, 2018.
