Plain-language change summary

The updated version of SB 5814 specifies that the bill applies specifically to child victims of felony-level physical assault rather than just physical assault in general. This change is important because it emphasizes a more serious category of abuse, ensuring that the medical examinations required for these children are fully funded, which can aid in faster identification and support for those who have suffered severe trauma. Additionally, the language now reinforces the importance of timely evaluations in preventing further harm to vulnerable children.
