Plain-language change summary

In the updated version of House Memorial 85, the language has been streamlined for clarity and some sections have been removed, particularly those that provided introductory context or were repetitive. The core request remains: the Department of Transportation is still being asked to create a Vision Zero plan aimed at achieving zero vehicle-related deaths or serious injuries on state roads by 2030. These changes help focus on the main goal and make it easier for the public to understand the urgency of improving road safety in New Mexico.
