MINOR

The bill was amended by the Senate Law and Public Safety Committee to make 'Christina Grimmie Day' an annual observance on June 10 of each year, rather than a one-time designation for June 10, 2026. Additional co-sponsors were added from both chambers. The remaining changes are formatting and line-break adjustments with no substantive effect.

SCOPE

The designation of 'Christina Grimmie Day' was changed from a one-time observance on June 10, 2026 to an annual observance on June 10 of each year. This means the day will be recognized every year going forward rather than just once for the 10-year anniversary of her passing.

TECHNICAL

Additional co-sponsors were added: Assemblyman Balvir Singh (District 7), Assemblyman Anthony Angelozzi (District 8), Assemblywoman Carol A. Murphy (District 7), Senator Greenstein, Assemblyman Hutchison, Assemblywoman Katz, and Assemblymen Sauickie, Guardian, Miller, Moen, McClellan and Assemblywoman Park.

The STATEMENT section at the end of the bill was removed in the reprint version.
