The goal is to simplify the law and eliminate absurd legal risks that are no longer relevant in modern society.
Key points
Eliminates penalties for minor financial infractions, such as writing a check for less than $1.
Removes criminal statutes related to the packaging and sale of colored margarine.
Ends penalties for placing unposted mail in a mailbox or removing stamps from mail matter.
Repeals prohibitions on wearing a letter carrier's uniform and sledding on the Capitol grounds.
