Plain-language change summary

In the updated version of Bill HB 5220, several lines of extraneous text were removed to clarify the language in a specific subsection. This change matters because it makes the bill clearer and easier to understand, ensuring that there are no ambiguities in its intent. Additionally, the bill's fiscal note has been adjusted to show a projected cost of $120,000 to the General Fund for the next two fiscal years, which is important for budgeting and planning purposes.
