Plain-language change summary

The amendment to SB 20-082 removed a section of the Colorado Revised Statutes (28-3-1201) related to the long service medal awarded to members of the National Guard of Colorado. This change indicates that the law no longer includes provisions for awarding this specific medal based on a period of service. The practical effect is that the criteria and the associated recognition for long service in the National Guard are being eliminated from this legislation.
