Plain-language change summary

The bill SB 109 has been updated to remove the previously proposed effective date of May 6, 2026, and replace it with a new effective date of May 5, 2027. Additionally, the wording around the section addressing the right of action for alienation of affections has been adjusted, but the content remains the same, stating there is no right of action for such claims. This change in the effective date gives stakeholders more time to prepare for the law's implementation.
