Plain-language change summary

The revised version of SB 5714 includes the addition of measures related to the unprofessional conduct of bail bond recovery agents, while removing references to the confidentiality of a defendant's immigration status. This change is significant because it clarifies which practices by bail bond recovery agents are deemed unprofessional but omits the protection for defendants regarding their immigration status. It suggests a shift in focus toward the conduct of agents rather than their handling of sensitive personal information.
