Plain-language change summary

The amendments made to SB 2407 primarily involve the addition of introductory lines stating "Sixty-ninth Legislative Assembly of North Dakota" and the date for the special session. The content of the bill remains largely the same, retaining the provisions for a line of credit up to $20,000,000 for the North Dakota military museum project. This means that the state historical society will still have the ability to borrow funds for the project, reinforcing the legislative intent and appropriations outlined in the bill.
