MODERATE

The bill was converted from the House floor version to the Senate floor version, resulting in changes to the document's header, sponsor attribution, and committee reporting details. The substantive legal text regarding inmate assessments and effective dates remains unchanged, though minor formatting adjustments were made to the section headers and page footers.

TECHNICAL

The document header was updated to reflect the Senate floor version instead of the House floor version, and the date was changed to April 21, 2026.

The sponsor attribution was updated to include 'Stanley of the Senate' alongside the original House sponsor.

The committee report attribution was changed from the 'Committee on Judiciary and Public Safety Oversight' to the 'Committee on Judiciary'.

Page footers were updated to reflect the new Senate version title and page numbers.
