What changed between versions

S 806 Filed → S 806 c1 · 3 edits
MINOR
The bill was amended from an original filing to a committee substitute version, primarily updating the document title and status while adding a critical exemption for motor vehicles to the definition of portable wireless devices. This change ensures that cars and trucks are no longer subject to the repair information requirements intended for consumer electronics like phones and tablets. Additionally, the bill's metadata was updated to reflect its new status as a committee substitute and adjusted the filing date.
Scope change
The bill's scope was narrowed by explicitly excluding motor vehicles and their manufacturers from the definition of 'portable wireless devices,' preventing the law from applying to automotive repair information.
DEFINITION

Added an exclusion for motor vehicles to the definition of 'portable wireless device,' clarifying that the law does not apply to cars, trucks, or products sold by vehicle manufacturers.

TECHNICAL

Updated the bill header from 'Filed' to 'Committee Substitute 1' and changed the filing date to reflect the committee's revision process.

Changed the bill identifier from 'Original Filed Version' to 'CS for SB 806' to indicate it is now a committee substitute.
