MODERATE

The bill was amended to add two new sponsors and update its procedural history after committee review. The core legal text regarding the prohibition of outside militias was simplified by removing a redundant clause about exceptions for federal service, as that exception was already implied by the main rule.

Scope change

The scope of the law itself remains unchanged; the amendment only clarifies the text and adds sponsors to the bill.

TECHNICAL

Added four new sponsors (Raga, Lasher, Otis, Meeks, Gonzalez-Rojas, Dinowitz) to the bill's introduction list.

Removed the specific 'unless' clause regarding federal service from the main text, streamlining the rule that outside militias need governor permission to enter the state.

Deleted the section regarding the attorney general's ability to bring civil actions to enforce the law, likely because it was redundant or superseded.

Removed the 'savings clause' (Section 2) which states that if any part of the bill is found unconstitutional, the rest remains valid.
