MINOR

The bill was amended to include a much larger number of co-sponsors and to remove several specific legislative instructions and procedural notes. The core policy text regarding solar goals and interconnection reforms remains substantively unchanged, though the bill version number was updated to reflect its amended status.

Scope change

The bill's scope and applicability remain unchanged; the amendments are procedural, affecting only the list of sponsors and the bill's version history.

PROCEDURAL

The list of Assembly members sponsoring the bill was expanded significantly, adding over twenty new co-sponsors to the original list.

Several lines containing procedural history, such as committee recommitment instructions and page numbers, were removed as they were likely placeholders or outdated tracking data.

The bill version identifier was updated from 'A8758' to 'A8758--A' to indicate that the text has been amended.
