HB368 → HB368_HD1 · 3 edits

MINOR

The bill was updated from its original introduction to the House of Representatives version (HD1), incorporating administrative metadata changes and a significant modification to the effective date. The most substantive policy change is the shift in the law's implementation date from 'upon approval' to a fixed future date of July 1, 3000, which is likely a placeholder or clerical error. Additionally, the document's language setting was changed from Japanese to Korean, and various internal tracking numbers and formatting codes were updated.

Scope change

The scope of the bill regarding exemptions for motor vehicle sun screening devices remains unchanged, but the timeline for when these rules apply has been altered.

TIMELINE

TECHNICAL
