What changed in the latest version
22 added · 27 removedPlain-language change summary
The amended version of Senate Resolution 190 has removed specific language that referred to the high costs and inefficiencies of diverting water from Lake Michigan. Instead, the focus has shifted to a general expression of support for the Great Lakes Basin Compact and a clear stance against any efforts to divert water from the Great Lakes. This change emphasizes the importance of protecting the Great Lakes as a vital resource without detailing the financial implications of water diversion. It matters because it strengthens the resolution's commitment to conservation and the regional economy while simplifying the message to oppose any diversion efforts outright.
