MINOR

The bill was updated from a filed draft to a committee substitute version, changing the document title and version number. The most significant policy change is the replacement of a contingent effective date with a fixed start date of July 1, 2026, ensuring the law takes effect immediately on that day rather than waiting for another piece of legislation.

Scope change

The scope of the bill remains focused on exempting specific uterine fibroid research records from public records requests, with no changes to eligibility criteria or exemptions.

TIMELINE

Changed the effective date from a contingent date tied to another bill (SB 196) to a fixed date of July 1, 2026.

TECHNICAL

Updated the document title from 'Original Filed Version' to 'Committee Substitute 1' and adjusted the filing timestamp.
