Plain-language change summary

The amendment to House Joint Resolution 45 removed references to specific budget resolutions and figures related to employee payroll costs for the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME). This change simplifies the text by focusing on the overall fiscal responsibility of the State's budget without delving into past specific appropriations or resolutions. This matters because it makes the resolution clearer and more focused on current budget guidelines and future fiscal planning, which is essential for maintaining state financial stability.
