Plain-language change summary

The recent changes to Senate Bill No. 2331 include the addition of specific representatives to a working group focused on managing the wild horse population in Theodore Roosevelt National Park. Notably, representatives are now included from the North Dakota university system with expertise in equine studies, a nonprofit dedicated to protecting the horses, the national park service, and the Indian affairs commission.
