Plain-language change summary

The updated version of SB 535 includes several key changes, such as increased fees for the workers' compensation administration and the creation of a new 988 lifeline fund funded by surcharges on telecommunications services. Additionally, it establishes the Supported Decision-Making Act, which supports individuals with disabilities by outlining agreements and designating roles for their supporters.
