MINOR
This bill version has advanced significantly from its initial introduction, moving from the Senate Health Committee to the Senate Rules Committee and then to a third reading in the Assembly. The substantive legal text appears unchanged, but the procedural history reflects a major shift in legislative strategy, including a vote to reconsider and amend the bill before it was passed by the Senate.
Scope change
The bill's scope of applicability remains unchanged; the changes are entirely procedural, reflecting the bill's movement through the legislative process and a specific amendment action taken by the Senate.
TIMELINE
The bill's procedural status changed from initial committee referral to a complex history involving discharge, amendment, and a Senate vote to reconsider and amend the bill before it was passed and delivered to the Assembly.
TECHNICAL
Minor formatting changes were made to the list of sponsoring senators, replacing 'GOUNARDES, HARCK- HAM' with 'GONZALEZ, HARCKHAM' and adding 'Cal. No. 140'.
