Plain-language change summary

In the revised version of Senate Bill 5, the list of sponsors has changed slightly, with Senator Smith being removed from the lineup of supporters. Additionally, a specific detail about how funds from the State Capital and Infrastructure Fund can be used has been altered; now, it explicitly states that money provided to local governments cannot be used to retire existing debt service. These changes matter because they clarify the bill's intent and limit how funds can be allocated, ensuring they are directed towards capital improvements rather than paying off old debts.
