Plain-language change summary

The changes made to House Bill 3 include removing the designation of "RATIFIED BILL" and clarifying the order in which ballot questions will be presented. Specifically, amendments to the North Carolina Constitution will now be listed only by their short captions, without any numerical ordering or additional references. This matters because it simplifies the ballot for voters, ensuring that proposed amendments are easily identifiable without complicated ordering, which could help enhance voter understanding and engagement during elections.
