Plain-language change summary

In the latest version of Senate Bill 852, a small adjustment was made to the language regarding feminine hygiene products, specifically changing "pantyliners" to "panty liners." This change helps clarify the wording, making it more accessible and understandable for everyone. Clear language in legislative texts is important because it ensures that the intent of the law is easily grasped by the public and those affected by the provisions. Simplifying legal language can improve communication and compliance related to products covered under Medicaid and Health Choice programs.
