Plain-language change summary

The amendments to the bill S 3434 remove the short title and a section outlining specific definitions and a study on the manufacturing programs of the Department of Commerce. The changes include deleting the evaluation options related to consolidating the administration of these programs, which means that the bill no longer suggests creating a new agency for that purpose. This affects how the study will be framed and the potential recommendations that may stem from it.
