Plain-language change summary

House Bill 2745 has been revised to clarify the rules surrounding legislative subpoenas and how witnesses can be held in contempt if they refuse to comply. The new version specifies that a witness must be given notice and an opportunity to explain why they are not in contempt before any contempt order is issued. This change aims to ensure fairness in the process and protect the rights of individuals required to testify before the legislature. Overall, these adjustments make the legislative subpoena process clearer and more accountable.
