Plain-language change summary

In the latest version of Bill HB 1236, a reference to "ACT No. 913" has been removed. This change is significant because it suggests that the bill is either no longer aligned with that specific act or that the provisions in ACT No. 913 are no longer relevant to the current legislation. Removing outdated references helps ensure that the bill is clear and focuses on the most current legal framework.
