What changed between versions

HB719 → HB719_HD1 · 3 edits

MINOR

The bill text was reformatted from a clean legislative version to include metadata headers, document properties, and formatting artifacts from a document management system. The substantive policy content remains unchanged, though the effective date was altered from June 30, 2025 to June 30, 3000 in one section, and minor formatting inconsistencies were introduced throughout the text.

Scope change

No substantive change to the bill's scope or applicability; the core prohibition on new animal fur products and all exemptions remain the same.

TIMELINE

The effective date in Section 5 was changed from June 30, 2025 to June 30, 3000, which appears to be an error or placeholder.

TECHNICAL

Multiple metadata headers, document properties, and formatting artifacts were inserted at the beginning and throughout the text.

Minor formatting inconsistencies and spacing variations were introduced in the statutory text.
