MODERATE

The bill was amended to reflect its successful committee review and approval for further legislative action. The primary substantive change involves renumbering the new sections within the article to align with standard legislative formatting, shifting the 'Right to refuse non-essential cookies' and 'Enforcement' sections to new numbers while retaining the original definitions section.

TECHNICAL

Removed the original bill number '8641' and replaced it with '8641--A' to indicate the amended version.

Updated the committee action status to show the bill was reported favorably and ordered to a third reading.

Renumbered the internal article sections from (a), (b), (c) to 1, 2, 3, etc., and adjusted the section titles from 890-tt and 890-uu to 899-tt and 899-uu to match the new numbering scheme.

Updated the page number in the footer from page 2 to page 6.
