Plain-language change summary

The revised version of Bill SB 31 has updated its wording to clarify its focus on the responsibilities of the Department of Administration regarding an address confidentiality program. The title now emphasizes "relating to" the duties rather than just "creating" the program. This change is important because it highlights the ongoing responsibilities and oversight that the Department will have, rather than just the establishment of the program, potentially improving how it functions and supports individuals who need to protect their addresses.
