Plain-language change summary

The updated version of Bill SB 875 includes minor changes to clarify who is affected by a moratorium on new insurance coverage from the Board of Risk and Insurance Management. Key entities like county boards of education and their personnel are explicitly excluded from this moratorium, ensuring that they maintain necessary insurance coverage while it remains in place for others. This is important because it protects essential services and roles in education while limiting new insurance for non-governmental entities until July 2025.
