Specifies that a provision regarding out-of-state hospitals is inoperative on and after January 1, 2029 (rather than January 1, 2024). In provisions regarding the Sexual Assault Medical Forensic Services Implementation Task Force, requires the Task Force's report to the General Assembly to be submitted by January 1, 2024 (rather than January 1, 2023) and include the status of pediatric sexual assault care.
