Plain-language change summary

The bill SB 706 has been amended to remove the previous definition of "economic opportunity" from the Illinois Governmental Ethics Act. Instead, it adds a new section to the Secretary of State Act that seems to deal with a different aspect of governance, although the specific details are not clear due to the redacted text. This change matters because it signifies a shift in how economic activities related to legislators are defined and regulated, potentially changing the way ethics in government are approached.
