Plain-language change summary

The updated version of Senate Bill 217 allows for a section to be restructured for clarity, specifically giving the Revisor of Statutes the authority to reorder a list numerically. By refining the language and removing some previous drafting details, the bill aims to ensure better readability and understanding. This change matters because a clearer bill can lead to more efficient legislative processes and less confusion in interpretation.
