Plain-language change summary

The amendments to Bill HB 660 clarify that its provisions will only take effect once the Louisiana Legislature allocates specific funds for their implementation. This means that without a designated budget, the changes won't be put into action. This is important because it ensures that financial resources are secured before new laws are enforced, preventing potential unfunded mandates on local districts.
