Plain-language change summary

In the updated version of Senate Bill 556, an important addition clarifies that the bill will apply to appliances and lamps specifically designed for recreational use, ensuring that these products also meet efficiency requirements. This change helps bolster consumer awareness and protection by ensuring that all relevant products adhere to the same standards, promoting energy efficiency.
