MINOR

The bill number was updated to reflect its current status in the 2025-2026 legislative session, and the bill's procedural history was added to show it has been reported from committee and is ready for a third reading. The most significant substantive change is the renumbering of a new section in the Correction Law from subdivision 7 to subdivision 8, likely because another related provision was added to the law in a previous step.
