The recent changes to Bill SB 722 involve the addition of a new chapter designation that specifically references certain historical actions, while also removing the phrase "VIRGINIA ACTS OF ASSEMBLY -- CHAPTER" from the previous text. This adjustment helps clarify the organization of state law and makes it easier to reference past legislative actions. Simplifying the language and structure is important because it enhances accessibility and understanding for both lawmakers and the public.
