Government Attorney Amendments
SB 304 changes the effective date of 2024's S.B. 273 (Amendments Relating to District Attorney In County of the First Class) from July 1, 2025, to July 1, 2026. This procedural bill directly affects the implementation timeline of S.B. 273's provisions for district attorneys in counties of the first class. The change delays when the original bill's changes to district attorney roles and responsibilities take effect by one year. No new policy changes or funding are involved; it solely adjusts the implementation date.
