legislator = person
legislature = body (organisation, i.e. legislative body)

Would something like:

The state legislature did away with outdated laws.

match the Japanese?

I think it would match.

Legislature is usually 立法部. A better English equivalent of the Japanese would be: "The legislators of that state did away with outdated laws." 立法者 is about 20 times more common than 立法部.

Thank you both for replying.

I've edited the English to make it match the Japanese.
