Plain-language change summary

The recent changes to HB 305 create specifications for mediation processes between two boards, emphasizing that these proceedings will be private and protecting statements made during mediation from being used in court. This matters because it encourages open communication during mediation, allowing the parties involved to discuss issues freely without fear of those discussions being used against them later. Additionally, the deadline for mediation has been clarified, with an extension possible if both boards agree, ensuring that there is a clear timeline while still providing flexibility.
