Plain-language change summary

The bill SB 73 has been updated to replace the phrase "shall adopt rules" with "shall implement a system" regarding consumer reporting of baby foods. This change simplifies the language and emphasizes immediate action by the Department of Public Health to create a reporting system. This matters because it may lead to quicker implementation and a more direct response to concerns about baby food safety, ultimately benefiting families by providing a mechanism to report issues more efficiently.
