MODERATE

The bill was amended from a single version to a committee substitute that combines SB 353 with SB 434, expanding the scope from one new section to five new sections in the state code. The substantive policy content regarding DWI diversion programs, ignition interlock requirements, and eligibility criteria remains largely unchanged, with only minor formatting and section numbering adjustments.

Scope change

The bill's scope expanded from adding one new section (557.520) to adding five new sections (557.520, 557.600, 557.602, 557.604, and 557.606), indicating additional related provisions were incorporated from a companion bill (SB 434).

SCOPE

Added four additional sections (557.600, 557.602, 557.604, and 557.606) to the bill, expanding the legislative framework beyond the original single section.

TECHNICAL

Changed the bill title from 'SENATE BILL NO. 353' to 'SENATE COMMITTEE SUBSTITUTE FOR SENATE BILLS NOS. 353 & 434' to reflect the combined legislation.

Updated the act description from 'adding thereto one new section' to 'adding thereto five new sections' to match the expanded scope.

Minor text formatting changes including spacing adjustments and slight wording variations (e.g., 'intoxicated-related' to 'intoxication-related') without substantive policy impact.
