§ 1.001. PURPOSE OF CODE. (a) This code is enacted as a
part of the state's continuing statutory revision program, begun by
the Texas Legislative Council in 1963 as directed by the
legislature in Chapter 448, Acts of the 58th Legislature, Regular
Session, 1963 (Article 5429b-1, Vernon's Texas Civil Statutes).
The program contemplates a topic-by-topic revision of the state's
general and permanent statute law without substantive change.
(b) Consistent with the objectives of the statutory
revision program, the purpose of this code is to make the
agriculture law more accessible and understandable, by:
(1) rearranging the statutes into a more logical
order;
(2) employing a format and numbering system designed
to facilitate citation of the law and to accommodate future
expansion of the law;
(3) eliminating repealed, duplicative,
unconstitutional, expired, executed, and other ineffective
provisions; and
(4) restating the law in modern American English to
the greatest extent possible.
Acts 1981, 67th Leg., p. 1015, ch. 388, § 1, eff. Sept. 1, 1981.
