AI Summary

The key change is the removal of a sentence that mandated that a dangerousness hearing, which is a court proceeding to determine if an individual poses a danger to themselves or others and should be held without bail, must occur immediately upon the person's first court appearance unless either the person or the attorney representing the state requests a delay.
