Plain-language change summary

The text of the bill has been modified to clarify that it will include specific references to various decisions, impacts, and funds related to offshore oil and gas leasing. The changes emphasize certain decisions about lease sales and the implications of the program's expiration, while also detailing connections to several funds, including the Gulf of Mexico Energy Security Act and the Historic Preservation Fund.
