The Code Subcommittee shall supervise the revision of the general laws. The revision shall consist of those activities necessary to allow for the codification of the general laws. The revision activities shall include:

1. Repeal of laws or sections thereof already repealed by general repealing acts, but the repeal of which is not sufficiently specific and certain to justify their omission from the compilation of laws;

2. Repeal of laws or sections thereof superseded by subsequent statutes, but not described or indicated with sufficient definiteness to justify elimination;

3. Consolidation of sections where two or more sections cover the same subject matter;

4. Redrafting of laws or sections thereof where two or more subjects are covered in the same law or section;

5. Redrafting of laws or sections thereof which have been partially repealed, superseded or held unconstitutional;

6. Repeal of laws or sections thereof which have obviously become obsolete and entirely inapplicable because of subsequent legislation;

7. Amendment of laws or sections thereof already amended by general acts, but the amendment of which is not sufficiently specific and certain to justify their amendment in the compilation of laws;

8. Correction of terminology in the general laws to conform with the terms and names of officers made necessary by subsequent enactments;

9. Drafting of new bills from resolutions which have the purpose or intention of law.
