recodified
Organized laws again
Recodified is the past tense of recodify, meaning to organize or arrange laws, rules, or regulations into a systematic code again or in a new way.
When a body of law is recodified, it is restructured, renumbered, or reorganized—often to improve clarity, remove outdated provisions, or consolidate scattered statutes.
The tax laws were recodified in 1986.
The term appears almost exclusively in legal and legislative contexts.
