MODERATE
SB 729 was advanced from introduction to enrolled status, meaning it has passed both legislative chambers and is ready for the Governor's signature. The bill's substantive content remains unchanged, continuing to prohibit denial of mental health services to individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities regardless of age.
Scope change
The bill's scope remains the same, but the enrolled version includes additional sponsors who joined during the legislative process.
TECHNICAL
Added new sponsors (Senators Hayden, Representatives Andersen, Pham H, and Tran) to the bill's sponsorship list as they joined during the legislative process.
Changed document header from 'Senate Bill 729' to 'Enrolled' to indicate the bill has passed both legislative chambers and is ready for executive action.
Added signature pages with spaces for legislative and executive approval signatures, dates, and official stamps.
Removed the editor's summary and digest that explained the bill's purpose, as this is no longer needed in the final enrolled version.
