Plain-language change summary

In the latest version of Senate Bill 327, specific lines were added and removed that refine the language around damages related to the unlawful cutting, removal, or burning of timber. The changes clarify the procedures for notifying timber owners when their rights have been violated. This matters because it helps ensure that timber owners know how to seek compensation if their property is harmed, making it easier for them to protect their rights.
