MINOR

The bill was amended to add more sponsors and update the legislative history, while the substantive text was reorganized to fix a formatting error in the liability section and to renumber the sections so the new 'Severability' clause appears before the 'Effective Date' clause.

Scope change

The scope of the bill's legal authority remains unchanged; the amendments are procedural and editorial.

TECHNICAL

Added nine new sponsors to the list of legislators introducing the bill.

Reorganized the bill's text to move the 'Severability' clause from Section 6 to Section 3 and renumbered subsequent sections, correcting a numbering error in the original draft.

Fixed a line break error in the liability section that incorrectly split the phrase 'causes to be subjected' across two lines.
