Plain-language change summary

In the latest version of House Bill 101, the language around injuries to children has been updated. The bill now specifies that the injury must involve a child who is at least 12 years old, but it has removed the requirement that the child be at least two years younger than the offender. This change matters because it broadens the scope of cases that can be addressed under this law, potentially leading to more accountability for offenders.
