MINOR

This bill was updated to reflect the 2025 legislative session and shifted from a House bill to a Senate measure. The most significant change is the effective date, which was moved from July 1, 2025, to December 31, 2050, likely to allow for further review or to set a distant future start time. Additionally, the appropriation section was modified to remove a specific dollar amount ($75,000), leaving the funding level blank for the legislature to determine later.

Scope change

The bill's scope regarding the requirement to stockpile mifepristone remains unchanged, but the funding mechanism was altered by removing the specific appropriation amount.
