Plain-language change summary

The recent changes to Bill SB 336 expand the authority of various state agencies under the Department of Homeland Security, allowing them to create new rules related to law enforcement responses to child abuse, neglect, and sexual assault forensic examinations. This is significant because it aims to improve the protocols and procedures in handling sensitive cases, enhancing the state's response to these critical issues.
