MINOR

The bill was renumbered from S516-A to S516-B and advanced through the legislative process to a third reading. The substantive text regarding repair shop invoice requirements and inspection rights was reorganized for clarity but contains no new policy changes, funding, or altered thresholds. The most significant operational change is the effective date, which was modified to take effect 90 days after becoming law instead of immediately.

TIMELINE

The effective date was changed from 'immediately' to 'ninety days after it shall have become a law', providing a delay before the new requirements apply.

TECHNICAL

The bill was renumbered from S516-A to S516-B and updated with new committee reporting history indicating it was favorably reported and ordered to a third reading.

The text regarding invoice and inspection requirements was reorganized and renumbered to improve readability, but the underlying legal obligations remain unchanged.
