Plain-language change summary

In the latest version of House Bill 3, some introductory lines were added to clarify that the document includes both proposed and adopted amendments, but it cannot be used to introduce new amendments. Additionally, the definition section that explained terms related to the bill was removed entirely. These changes matter because they streamline the document, making it clearer and more focused on the appropriations for the Department of Transportation without overwhelming readers with definitions.
