23. That's total nonsense. Otherwise, every bill ever would have a ban on banning it.

This would lead to archaic laws still being on the books 100 years past their actual use. I'm no law student, but I can't imagine this is even valid.

One would also think you could just repeal the ban-ban. I'm glad to see state government time is being put to good use these days.
