MINOR

The bill was revised from a filed draft to a committee substitute version, incorporating specific feedback to clarify member qualifications and streamline the list of required representatives. The primary change involves modifying the appointment criteria for the Department of Law Enforcement representative to emphasize their knowledge of the Financial Transaction Database, while consolidating the victim and stakeholder representatives into a single category to reduce the total number of seats. These adjustments aim to ensure the task force has the specific technical expertise needed to analyze scam data effectively while maintaining a manageable size for efficient operation.

Scope change

The scope of the task force's composition was narrowed slightly by combining two separate victim/stakeholder seats into one unified seat, and the qualifications for one specific member were made more explicit regarding database expertise.

REQUIREMENT

The qualification for the Department of Law Enforcement representative was updated to explicitly require experience using and general knowledge of the Financial Transaction Database, ensuring the member has the necessary technical skills to analyze scam data.

ELIGIBILITY

Two separate seats for 'scam victims' and 'other relevant stakeholders' were combined into a single seat for 'scam victims, scam victim support networks, and other relevant stakeholders,' reducing the total number of appointed members.

TECHNICAL

The bill header was updated from 'Filed' to 'Committee Substitute 1' and the bill type was changed from 'General Bill' to 'c1' to reflect the legislative process stage.
