MODERATE
The bill was amended to narrow its scope by removing references to full-time residents and changing the residency requirement from 'six months or more' to just 'a period of time' in the Dominican Republic. The committee action history was also updated to reflect a new committee reassignment.
Scope change
The bill now applies to individuals residing part-time in the Dominican Republic rather than both part-time and full-time residents, and the specific six-month residency threshold was removed.
ELIGIBILITY
Changed eligibility from 'part-time or full-time' residents to just 'part-time' residents in the Dominican Republic.
Removed the specific requirement that beneficiaries must reside 'six months or more' in the Dominican Republic.
TECHNICAL
Updated committee action history to reflect a new reassignment to the Committee on Health under Assembly Rule 3, section 2.
Corrected a line break in the bill title from 'full-time in the Dominican Republic' to 'part-time in the Dominican Republic'.
