Plain-language change summary

The recent amendment to SB 864 involved removing a specific subsection (e) from the burglary laws. This change aims to clarify the legal definitions and processes related to burglary cases. By removing the subsection, lawmakers hope to streamline the prosecution process and ensure that the intent behind burglary is more clearly understood, which can help make the law more effective in protecting property rights.
