SUBTITLE A. ADMINISTRATION OF THE TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF INSURANCE
CHAPTER 30. GENERAL PROVISIONS
§ 30.001. PURPOSE OF TITLES 2, 6, 7, AND 8.
Text of section effective until April 1, 2005
(a) This title and Titles 6, 7, and 8 are 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 title and Titles 6, 7, and 8
is to make the law encompassed by the titles 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(3) eliminating repealed, duplicative,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.
