MINOR
The bill was amended to reorganize the text of a section regarding evidence rules for sexual abuse cases, moving the list of permissible evidence purposes to appear earlier in the statute. This change clarifies the structure but does not alter the actual legal rules or the scope of the law.
TECHNICAL
The order of the text was changed to list the specific purposes for which evidence can be used before listing the rules for admitting that evidence, improving the logical flow of the statute.
