The amendment to SB 2470 specifies that the bill will now be repealed on June 30, 2020, instead of remaining in effect. This change matters because it means that the provisions of the bill will only be temporary, putting a time limit on its implementation. Essentially, the bill will not continue after that date unless further action is taken by lawmakers.
