Plain-language change summary

In the latest version of House Bill 2323, the language has been updated to use "neurodivergent" instead of "neurodiverse" when referring to individuals who may have different neurological conditions. This change emphasizes the specific experiences of those individuals during traffic stops, acknowledging that their reactions might be misunderstood. Additionally, the bill clarifies that information about the program must be accessible on a website rather than just a web page. These updates are important as they enhance the bill’s focus on effective communication and support for individuals with disabilities during potentially stressful encounters with law enforcement.
