What changed in the latest version
5 added · 1 removedPlain-language change summary
The amendments to HB 2475 involve changes to the language regarding the illegal manipulation of water control devices. Specifically, the amendment clarifies that a person can only be charged with a misdemeanor if they knowingly interfere with these devices, rather than just the act itself. This change matters because it places emphasis on the intent behind the action, potentially protecting individuals who unintentionally engage in such activities from legal penalties.
