Plain-language change summary

The revised bill now names the bridge as the "U.S. Army Warrant Officer James Gilbert Bosley Memorial Bridge" instead of just the "Warrant Officer James Gilbert Bosley Memorial Bridge." Additionally, it included more context about Bosley's life, military service, and honors, which reinforces the significance of memorializing him. These changes matter because they provide greater recognition of Bosley’s contributions as a member of the U.S. Army and help educate the public about his sacrifices.
