MINOR
This bill revision updates the bill number and author information to reflect the second Senate District version. It refines the language regarding military notification to ensure clarity that orders are sent to 'designated' security forces. The definition of 'security forces' was slightly edited to remove the word 'Garrison' before Hawaii, while the effective date and core policy requirements remain unchanged.
Scope change
The bill's scope remains focused on notifying military security forces when protective orders are issued against military-affiliated individuals. The revision clarifies the specific entities receiving notification but does not alter the fundamental applicability of the law.
TECHNICAL

Updated bill metadata including the bill version (SD1 to SD2), author name, and internal tracking numbers.

REQUIREMENT

Changed the requirement to notify 'the security forces' to 'the designated military security force' to specify which unit receives the order.

DEFINITION

Adjusted the definition of 'security forces' by removing the specific phrase 'Garrison Hawaii' from the list of listed units.
