THIS SECTION MAY NOT REFLECT THE FINAL TEXT OF THE STATUTE BECAUSE OF QUESTIONS RELATED TO THE EFFECT OF ENROLLED SB 907 FROM THE 2023 REGULAR SESSION. IF THE TEXT OF THE SECTION DOES GET MODIFIED, THERE WILL BE AN ADVISORY TO BOTH SENATE AND HOUSE STAFF SO THAT IF A DIFFERENT VERSION OF THE STATUTE IS REQUIRED, IT WILL BECOME AVAILABLE IN THE DATABASE AT THAT TIME.
