Plain-language change summary

In the latest version of Bill SB 620, there's a notable change: the removal of a previous approval date, which was April 22, 2025. This suggests that the bill may no longer be tied to that specific timeline for implementation. This change is important because it could allow for more flexibility in how the bill is enacted or could indicate that the bill is still under review or modification.
