MINOR

The bill was amended to add co-sponsors and update the legislative history. The most significant substantive change is the revision of the effective date, shifting from an immediate implementation to a delayed start of January 1st following the next September, ensuring the law applies only to policies issued or renewed after that date.

Scope change

The bill's scope of coverage regarding eligible workers remains unchanged, but the timeline for when these protections apply has been extended to allow for administrative preparation.

TIMELINE

The effective date was changed from 'immediately' to 'January 1st following the first of September' after the bill becomes law, and it now only applies to policies issued, renewed, or modified on or after that new date.

TECHNICAL

The bill text was updated to include additional sponsors (Gonzalez-Rojas, Meeks, Shrestha, Levenberg, Raga, Wright, Steck, Lee, Dilan, Colton) and to reflect that the committee has discharged the bill, amended it, and recommitted it.
