Plain-language change summary

The changes to Bill SB 466 clarify its title and ensure it is recognized as an official act after being passed. The bill still focuses on the limitations for civil actions that prisoners can take while they are unable to pay court fees. This matters because it sets rules for how and when prisoners can seek legal action, which can impact their access to justice.
