Plain-language change summary

The amendment to HB 5356 removed the definition of "late model vehicle" from section 24b and adjusted the language in section 41a regarding the "police book," clarifying that it can be in either hardcover or electronic form as prescribed by the secretary of state. This matters because it streamlines the requirements for vehicle dealers by eliminating the age classification for late model vehicles and explicitly allowing for electronic record-keeping, which may improve record management and compliance with state regulations.
