Plain-language change summary

The revised version of House Bill 2977 includes a specific definition of "hidden disability" to address conditions that may impact how individuals interact with law enforcement. This change adds clarity to the bill by explicitly listing examples of hidden disabilities, such as autism spectrum disorder, which helps ensure that appropriate considerations are made for those affected. This addition is important because it promotes better understanding and communication between law enforcement and individuals with such disabilities, potentially leading to improved safety and respect during interactions.
