Plain-language change summary

The amendment adds a provision to SEC. 2 regarding the protection of community centers with religious affiliation, specifically including "real property owned or leased by a nonprofit, religiously affiliated organization." This change expands the definition of protected properties under the law, which may provide broader legal safeguarding for such organizations from acts of damage or destruction.
