MINOR

This bill revision updates the formatting and committee attribution for SB 1346, which requires hospitals to test for fentanyl in urine samples for overdose patients. The substantive policy content remains unchanged, with the main difference being the addition of the Judiciary Committee to the sponsoring committees and a slight rewording of record retention language.

TECHNICAL

Committee attribution was expanded from Health Policy only to include both Judiciary and Health Policy committees, and co-sponsorship was added for Senator Pizzo alongside Senator Polsky.

Minor formatting updates including document header changes from c1 to c2 version and slight rewording of record retention language from 'preserved' to 'retained'.
