What changed in the latest version
41 added · 8 removedPlain-language change summary
The updated version of the bill now includes a sentence emphasizing the concerns of residents living near the Arizona-Mexico border about their drinking water quality due to past sewage issues. The earlier version had this information but included unnecessary references to legislative actions from 2018, which are not relevant to the current bill. This change helps streamline the bill and keeps the focus on the ongoing concerns of the community, making it clearer for lawmakers and the public.
