What changed in the latest version
0 added · 2 removedPlain-language change summary
The change in Bill SB 402 involves removing a reference to "Act 725 of the Regular Session" and the approval date of "4/17/25". This suggests that the bill is no longer linked to that specific act or date, potentially making it clearer or more flexible in its application. This matters because it could streamline the legislative process and allow for more straightforward implementation of the bill’s provisions without being tied to previous legislation or deadlines.
