Specifically, the bill mandates that these officials submit an attestation of compliance with existing regulations to the comptroller of the treasury by January 1, 2027, and annually thereafter. This new requirement is added as a subsection to several sections, including Sections 4-1-427, 5-1-135, 6-54-150, 7-3-107, and 49-7-192.
