Plain-language change summary

In the latest version of Senate Bill 402, some specific language has been clarified and certain sections of text have been removed. Notably, the phrase discussing potential health risks and physical discomfort now appears without the original draft's markup references. This change matters because it helps to streamline the bill and provides a clearer understanding of the potential impacts on public health, making it easier for legislators and the public to review and discuss the proposed law.
