Plain-language change summary

The latest version of HB 48 updates the timing and distribution of a report required from a legislative commission. It changed the deadline for providing physical copies of the report from the week before the legislative session to the 30th day of each session and increased the number of copies from 40 to 60. Additionally, the requirement to include assessment results in the annual report has been removed, which could impact how legislative recommendations are made. These changes aim to ensure that more copies of the report are available in a timely manner, making it easier for legislators and the public to access important information.
