What changed between versions

House Committee Substitute → Perfected · 5 edits
MODERATE
This bill was significantly simplified from a comprehensive court operations reform into a focused treatment court establishment bill. The original version repealed numerous sections and created 21 new sections covering various court operations, while the perfected version only repeals one section and establishes a single new section defining treatment court divisions. This represents a major scope reduction, narrowing the bill's focus from broad court operations to specifically establishing specialized treatment courts for substance use and mental health disorders.
