What changed between versions

HB667_HD1 HB667_SD1 · 4 edits
MODERATE
This bill version (SD1) is a technical reformatting of the House version (HD1) with no substantive policy changes. The core provisions requiring scanning of deceased pets for microchips and notifying county animal services remain identical, but the effective date was changed from July 1, 3000 to July 1, 2050. The SD1 version also includes metadata headers and formatting artifacts from a legislative tracking system.
Scope change
No change in scope or applicability; the bill applies to the same agencies and situations in both versions.
TIMELINE

The effective date was changed from July 1, 3000 to July 1, 2050, likely as a placeholder or clerical error in the Senate version.

TECHNICAL

Added metadata headers including bill author names, timestamps, and tracking numbers that were not present in the House version.

Removed page headers and footers specific to the House version's document layout.

Changed the bill designation from H.D. 1 to S.D. 1 to reflect Senate version status.
