Bill Text
What changed in the latest version
7 added · 12 removedPlain-language change summary
In the revised version of Bill SB 93, the language has been changed to clarify the definition of a felony related to drug delivery resulting in serious bodily injury. Specifically, the requirement for how drug offenses are categorized has been simplified by removing details about considering financial exchanges when assessing the severity of the crime. This change matters because it makes the law easier to understand and could streamline legal processes by focusing directly on the actions taken rather than the motivations behind them.
