Plain-language change summary

The bill HB 1512 has removed a reference to "Act 341 of the Regular Session" and the approval date of "3/18/25." This change means that any specific link to that previous act and its approval date is no longer part of the current bill. This matters because it allows HB 1512 to stand on its own, potentially making it more straightforward and easier to understand without referencing past legislation.
