Senate adopts amendment to AG-sponsored bill and sets restitution effective date to 07/01/2027
Summary
Senate File 2379, a bill originating from the Attorney General, was amended to change the effective date for restitution provisions to July 1, 2027, and the chamber passed the bill on final reading (47–0).
Senator Bussello (Polk) explained that the House amendment to SF 2379 preserves earlier work while moving the effective date of the restitution portion to July 1, 2027 to provide the judicial branch more time for implementation. The amendment also removes references to the federal Department of Justice and leaves approval of nurse-examiner education guidelines to the state Department of Justice.
Senators offered brief remarks in support; the amendment was adopted and the Senate passed SF 2379 as amended by recorded vote (47 ayes, 0 nays).
