Making laws
codification
Placing a newly enacted law into the right spots in the existing code, amending, replacing, or adding sections rather than standing alone.
In full
Most laws are amendatory: they instruct that a section of existing law be struck, inserted, or rewritten. Codification is the work of carrying those instructions out so the code reads as current law. It is why a bill's text can be nearly unreadable on its own, consisting largely of directions like strike subsection (b) and insert the following.
