Plain-language change summary

The bill SB 4 has removed a reference to a specific act from the First Extraordinary Session that was approved on September 14, 2023. This change means that the provisions in this bill will not be tied to that earlier act, which could affect how the bill is interpreted or applied. By making this adjustment, lawmakers may be aiming for more clarity or flexibility in the bill's purpose and implementation. This type of revision is important because it can help ensure that the new legislation stands on its own without confusing links to previous laws.
