Plain-language change summary

In the latest version of Senate Bill 71, the language clarifying the construction and improvement projects for city halls, fire stations, and office buildings was slightly modified for clarity. The specific mention of these projects is still limited to Carteret and Dare Counties, ensuring that the focus remains on these locations. This change is important because it helps clearly define the scope of the bill and confirms which communities would benefit from these improvements.
