Plain-language change summary

The recent amendment to the bill updates the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium and District of Columbia National Guard Armory Public Safety Act to include two new venues: the Downtown Arena and the Southeast Arena. This change specifically prohibits unauthorized entry onto the playing surfaces of these arenas, similar to existing protections for other local venues. This matters because it enhances security measures at these popular entertainment locations, helping ensure a safer environment for both performers and attendees.
