Plain-language change summary

The latest version of Senate Bill 5154 has removed a section that specified an effective date for the new driver's license formats. This change means that the bill will now take effect as determined by the department, rather than on a specific date of July 1, 2018. This matters because it allows for greater flexibility in implementing the changes, ensuring that the new formats can be introduced as soon as the necessary preparations are completed.
