Plain-language change summary

The latest amendment to Senate Bill 5650 changed the wording from "contains the list of voter violations punishable" to "describes the list of voter violations punishable." This wording change is important because it clarifies that the bill is outlining the types of voter violations without implying it has an exhaustive list. This distinction could help prevent misunderstandings about the bill's scope and ensure that voters understand what actions could be considered violations.
