revision of statutes

revision of statutes
A "revision of law" on any subject is a restatement of the law on that subject in a correlated or improved form, which is intended as a substitute for the law as previously stated, and displaces and repeals former laws relating to same subject and within piirview of revising statute. State v. Pitet, 69 Wyo. 478, P.2d 177, 184.
Such is more than a restatement of the substance thereof in different language, but implies a reexamination of them, and may constitute a restatement of the law in a corrected or improved form, in which case the statement may be with or without material change, and is substituted for and displaces and repeals the former law as it stood relating to the subjects within its purview. Elite Laundry Co. v. Dunn, 126 W.Va. 858, 30 S.E.2d 454, 458.
