The bill SB 514 has removed the reference to Act 782, which means that it no longer relies on or includes the provisions of that previous act. This change could suggest that the current bill is aiming for a more independent framework or wants to clearly define its own rules without referencing past legislation. Understanding this alteration is important because it may affect how the bill is applied and enforced.
