Plain-language change summary

In the updated version of Senate Bill 786, the wording regarding the use of restraints on women has been clarified. Specifically, the revised bill specifies that restraints may be necessary to prevent a woman from injuring herself or others. This change is significant because it aims to ensure that the use of restraints is justified and focused on safety, rather than being applied arbitrarily.
