MINOR
The bill was amended to add a 'Cal. No. 527' identifier and update its legislative history to reflect committee reports and amendments. The most significant substantive change is the addition of the phrase 'to the greatest extent practicable' to the data reporting requirements for town and village courts, ensuring these smaller courts are included in data collection only when resources allow. The effective date for the entire act was also shortened from a staggered timeline to a uniform two-year period after enactment.
Scope change
The bill's scope regarding data reporting for town and village courts was modified to be conditional on practicability rather than mandatory for all cases.
TECHNICAL
Added 'Cal. No. 527' to the bill header and updated the legislative history to reflect committee actions.
REQUIREMENT
Changed data reporting requirements for town and village courts to apply 'to the greatest extent practicable' instead of mandating reporting for all cases.
TIMELINE
Consolidated the effective date for the entire act to two years after enactment, replacing the previous staggered schedule.
