> Are there governments with garbage collection and simplification of laws built into the legislative process? I've often been thinking about the same thing. I think that most laws should have an expiration date, especially those that were enacted during "emergency" periods (e.g. everything legislated as a response to the Great Recession). The only reasonable exception are the core laws (e.g. the Penal Code), which should be replaced (not amended) by newer versions every so often.
