In the latest version of Senate File 2374, the most significant change is the inclusion of an immediate effective date, meaning the bill will take effect as soon as it is enacted. Additionally, the revised version streamlines the bill's provisions by removing specific details about the electrical examining board's responsibilities and the analysis process required for significant changes to the electrical code.
