Plain-language change summary

The latest version of Senate Bill 239 includes a new reference to determining how practical experience and training, including military service, can affect qualifications. The previous version did not mention this aspect. This change is important because it recognizes the value of real-world experience and could help ensure that those with relevant skills, especially veterans, are not overlooked in the qualification process for certain positions.
