What changed between versions

S2235A S2235B · 4 edits
MODERATE
The bill version was updated from S2235-A to S2235-B, with several substantive changes including the addition of the Education Law to the list of amended laws, a new Senate committee recommitment action, and a technical correction to the Education Law's inclusion in the bill title. The core immigration enforcement restrictions for police and school officers remain unchanged in the substantive sections.
Scope change
The bill now includes the Education Law as an amended statute, expanding its scope beyond the original five laws to six laws. Additionally, the bill was formally recommitted to the Committee on Codes per Senate Rule 6, section 8.
SCOPE

Added the Education Law to the list of laws being amended, expanding the bill's scope from five to six statutes.

REQUIREMENT

Added a new procedural requirement that the bill be recommitted to the Committee on Codes in accordance with Senate Rule 6, section 8.

TECHNICAL

Minor formatting change in the bill title where 'and' was added between 'the' and 'education law' for grammatical consistency.

DEFINITION

Removed Senator HINCHEY from the list of sponsors in the original version, though this appears to be a clerical change rather than a substantive policy modification.
