The updated version of HB 108 has added lines that specify different legislative sessions (from 2020 to 2024) and removed a few lines that stated the purpose of designating legal holidays. This change simplifies the text by focusing on the years in question while maintaining the core policy of recognizing legal holidays in Virginia. It matters because it helps clarify the bill's context without repeating background details, ensuring that readers can more easily see what days will be recognized as legal holidays going forward.
