Plain-language change summary

The key change in the revised bill HB 1671 is the removal of the expiration date that was previously included. This change means that the provisions established in the bill, including the definitions related to consumer consent, will now remain in effect indefinitely rather than having a predetermined end date. This is significant as it provides more ongoing protection for consumer rights without the worry of the law expiring.
