Clear amendment text
Provide exact strike-through and underlined replacement language or a precise plain-language replacement so the Revisor can adopt the change without interpretation.
Clear revisor procedures reduce drafting errors, speed integration of amendments, and ensure statutes remain internally consistent. Proper use of the chapter avoids conflicting language and supports reliable publication of the official code for courts, agencies, and the public.
Use the chapter whenever formal edits affect statutory text, numbering, or cross-references to ensure official publication follows Minnesota revisor standards.
The Revisor's office reviews proposed statutory language for technical accuracy, numbering, and drafting style; the Revisor certifies final text for publication and maintains the official codification of Minnesota statutes.
Agency attorneys submit proposed amendments or corrections, coordinate with legislative staff and the Revisor for precise wording, and ensure statutory changes reflect policy while complying with drafting rules.
Provide exact strike-through and underlined replacement language or a precise plain-language replacement so the Revisor can adopt the change without interpretation.
Cite the exact Minnesota Statute section number targeted for amendment to avoid misapplication and to guide correct placement within the code.
Optional explanatory language clarifies purpose and scope of change and assists the Revisor when reconciling technical drafting needs with policy goals.
State the intended effective date using MM/DD/YYYY format or descriptive language tied to enactment; ambiguous dates impede codification scheduling.
Identify related sections or definitions that must be revised to maintain internal consistency across the statutes.
Indicate desired formatting conventions, capitalization, and numbering changes to match official publication standards.
