What changed

+4 / −16 words · MediumConfidence: high

This version of HB 482 represents a procedural reversion to an earlier state of the bill. The changes are primarily administrative, restoring the bill's original 60-day effective date after a prior amendment had extended it to 18 months. The preamble reflects corresponding procedural tracking updates, moving the bill's administrative status back from 'reported from committee as amended' to 'referred to committee' with dates adjusted from June to February. These modifications do not alter the underlying substantive provisions authorizing Pennsylvania to join the Interstate Compact but rather adjust the implementation timeline and administrative history.

  Technical/conforming change

  The preamble reverts to an earlier procedural status, removing references to committee reporting and amendment. The prior printer's number citation is removed, and the bill's committee status changes from 'reported from committee as amended' back to 'referred to committee,' with dates adjusted from June 17, 2025 to February 4, 2025. These are procedural tracking changes to the bill's administrative history with no substantive legal effect.
