It's possible it's a versioning discrepancy - the language being referred to is here. Your version is "as introduced". During the committee process I believe it is possible for language to be altered before an actual vote without a formal "amendment".

Fair enough.

By the way, is there any reason to believe that governments are going to do anything with these reports?

Best case scenario, they don’t.

Worst case scenario, they can arbitrarily ruin people’s lives.

Hoping for the best, but planning for the worst in this case means fighting it tooth and nail.

The bill left the committee with a substitute as amendment. In other words a different version was introduced in committee and that is what was reported out of committee. The text of the version reported out of committee can be found at https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/23876061-ell23484-ma...

The words "deliberately blind" can be found in this version.
