MODERATE
The bill was amended to remove the creation of a dedicated 'statewide fibroid study program fund' in the State Finance Law and the associated reporting requirements. Consequently, the bill now focuses solely on establishing the study program within the Department of Health without specifying a funding source or requiring annual financial reports to the legislature.
Scope change
The bill's scope was narrowed from establishing a new funded program to creating only the administrative framework for the study program.
FISCAL
Deleted the section establishing a special 'statewide fibroid study program fund' in the State Finance Law.
REQUIREMENT
Removed the requirement for the Commissioner of Health to submit an annual written report to the Senate, Assembly, and Comptroller detailing fund usage and financial plans.
TECHNICAL
Changed the bill number from A 5412 to A 5412-A and updated the committee status to reflect that the bill was amended, reprinted, and recommitted.
TIMELINE
The effective date clause was removed from the text, though the bill retains the standard provision to take effect on the sixtieth day after becoming law.
