section of the State Administrative Procedure Act, as some of its provisions are obsolete, while its other provisions are redundant with the statute setting forth the process for reviewing executive agency rules. Sections 1 and 3 to 10 make conforming amendments relating to the repeal. Section 1 of the bill also conforms language in the statute setting
forth the process for reviewing executive agency rules to reflect current drafting practices relating to, among other practices, the use of gender-neutral language in statute.
