MINOR

The bill was updated from a floor amendment to an engrossed version, incorporating House amendments that modify how the public can access data from the Substantial Risk Order Reporting System. The most significant change is the addition of public online access to the reports, expanding transparency beyond just government officials.

Scope change

The scope of data access was expanded to include the general public via an online platform, whereas previously access was limited to specific government entities.

REQUIREMENT

The requirement for the Department of State Police to distribute reports was changed from sending them electronically only to the General Assembly and Governor to also making them available to the public online.
