MINOR

This bill version transitions from a House draft to a Senate version, updating administrative metadata such as author names and revision numbers. The core policy text remains largely consistent, though the Senate version adds a new committee member representing disability and communication access and slightly reorganizes the list of working group members.

Scope change

The bill's substantive scope regarding towing practices remains unchanged; however, the composition of the oversight working group was expanded to include a representative from the disability and communication access board.

REQUIREMENT

Added a new requirement for the working group to include the executive director of the disability and communication access board or their designee.

TECHNICAL

Updated author names from Shayna A. Nakama to Noah Holck and Ainoa Naniole, and changed the bill status from House Draft to Senate Draft.

Revised internal revision numbers and tracking codes to reflect the Senate version (SD1) instead of the House version (HD2).
