Plain-language change summary

In the latest version of Bill SB 342, the reference to "Act 468 of the Regular Session" and its approval date of April 4, 2023, has been removed. This change means that the bill no longer acknowledges or relies on that specific previous act. This matters because it could indicate that the current bill is now independent from the earlier legislation and may be addressing new issues or procedures on its own.
