Plain-language change summary

The latest version of Senate Bill 710 has made a couple of small changes to the wording regarding the registration of seized items. Specifically, it clarified that the registration of the owner will not be revoked if their license is restored. This change matters because it helps ensure that individuals who have regained their licenses are not unfairly penalized by losing their registrations, which could impact their ability to operate legally.
