MODERATE
The bill was amended to expand sponsorship, increase warning label font size from 8-point to 12-point, change the effective date from 120 days to one year after enactment, and adjust the section numbering for penalties. These changes strengthen consumer warnings and provide more time for compliance while clarifying enforcement language.
