Rerevised (05/01/2025) Revised (04/30/2025) · 4 edits
MODERATE
The bill text was revised to reflect amendments adopted on second reading in the Second House, replacing the previous 'Rerevised' version that included all amendments adopted in the Second House. This update ensures the legislative record accurately reflects the current status of the bill after committee and floor action in the Senate.
TECHNICAL

Header text changed from 'REREVISED' to 'REVISED' to indicate the version reflects amendments adopted on second reading rather than all amendments adopted in the Second House.

Removed the '3rd Reading Unamended' date stamp and House committee listing, indicating this version no longer represents the unamended third reading status.

Added the phrase 'on Second Reading' to clarify the legislative stage at which amendments were incorporated.

Removed extensive House sponsorship list, leaving only 'Stewart R. and Bradley' as the listed House sponsors, suggesting a consolidation of sponsor information.
