Plain-language change summary

The revised version of HB 582 now specifies that the modifications to asbestos testing requirements apply specifically to residential properties with four or fewer units, which was not stated in the earlier version. This change is significant because it clarifies which types of residential properties are affected by the new testing requirements, potentially making it easier for smaller property owners to comply with regulations. Additionally, the bill has removed some general language, focusing more specifically on these smaller properties, which streamlines the legislative text.
