Plain-language change summary

The amendment to Bill S. 496 removes the reference to its status as "Referred in House" and the added context about its passage through the Senate and House. This change focuses on the text of the repeal itself, indicating that the regulations associated with the Organization Coordination and Planning Area Reform will not be enforced as if they were never issued. This matters because it clarifies that the previous regulations will revert to their prior state, directly impacting how related organizational activities are governed.
