§ 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 the law codified as Section 323.007, Government
Code. 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 law
encompassed by this code 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(3) eliminating repealed, duplicative,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 1999, 76th Leg., ch. 388, § 1, eff. Sept. 1, 1999.
