MINOR

The bill was amended to change the effective date of the new identification card provisions. While the original version intended for the law to take effect on July 1, 3000, the Senate version adds a provision allowing Section 1 (which lowers the age requirement to 16) to take effect one year after the Act is signed. Additionally, a minor wording adjustment was made to the definition of 'gender designation' to improve clarity.

Scope change

The scope of the bill's impact on the public has expanded by adding a specific timeline for when the new age eligibility rules will become active, rather than waiting until the year 3000.

TIMELINE

Added a provision that Section 1 (lowering the age to obtain an ID card to 16) will take effect one year after the Act is enacted, instead of the original July 1, 3000 date.

DEFINITION

Slightly rephrased the definition of 'gender designation' to clarify that it has the same meaning as defined in section 286-109(a).
