Plain-language change summary

The amendment changes the start date of the bill's enforcement from July 1, 2018, to immediately upon its passage. This change is important because it allows the new regulations or provisions to take effect right away rather than waiting for a specific future date, ensuring that the intended benefits can be implemented without delay. Additionally, the removal of the expiration date means the bill will remain in effect unless it is explicitly repealed or amended in the future.
