Plain-language change summary

The amendment to Bill SB 464 added a note specifying that it is a "Committee Substitute" and confirmed its passage date as April 9, 2021, with an effective date of 90 days after that. While the main content of the bill regarding the composting products remains unchanged, these additions clarify its legislative process and timeline. This is important because it helps ensure transparency and provides a clear timeline for when the new regulations will take effect.
