MODERATE

This bill was amended to remove the effective date from the summary section and to update the list of sponsors, while the core text of the bill itself remains substantively unchanged. The legislative text governing behavioral health insurance audits and reporting requirements has not been modified.

TECHNICAL

The bill's sponsor list was updated to reflect additional Representatives (RIEKE, WALTERS) and remove SKARLATOS from the original list.

The summary section was edited to remove the statement that the Act takes effect 91 days after the session ends, though this text remains in the bill's body within brackets.

The digest in the summary was edited to remove the Flesch Readability Score and the effective date statement, with the removed text placed in brackets to indicate it was deleted from the summary but remains in the bill.

The bill header was updated from 'HB 4028' to 'A-Eng. HB 4028' to reflect its current legislative status.
