MODERATE

The bill was renumbered from A5443-A to A5443-B and amended to include a new sponsor, Simone. Substantively, the bill adds a short title ('survivors first act') and removes the word 'each' from the reporting frequency requirement in Section 20, clarifying that reports must be rendered annually. It also standardizes the capitalization of data reporting terms (e.g., changing 'The number' to 'the number') throughout the annual report requirements.

TECHNICAL

Added a short title section to formally name the act as the 'survivors first act'.

Standardized capitalization in the annual report requirements by changing specific phrases from title case (e.g., 'The number') to lowercase (e.g., 'the number').

Added a new sponsor, Simone, to the list of bill sponsors.

REQUIREMENT
