The amended version of Senate Bill 2376 adds specific details about the exact parcels of land within Grand Forks County, North Dakota, that may be used for gaming purposes if approved by federal authorities. Previously, the bill only referred generically to "land within Grand Forks County." This change is important because it clearly defines the areas under consideration, which could affect planning, development, and regulatory approvals related to gaming activities in that region.
