Plain-language change summary

The latest version of Bill HB 6071 now includes a requirement that it will only take effect if another bill, Senate Bill No. 95, is also passed. This change ensures that the implementation of HB 6071 is contingent on the approval of related legislation, which could be important for coordinating policy impacts. This can help avoid conflicts or unintended consequences that might arise from implementing the bill independently.
