Plain-language change summary

The amended version of Senate Bill 756 clarifies the wording regarding signs on properties meant to exclude intruders. The change ensures that signs are "clearly marked" rather than just "clearlymarked," making it easier to understand the intent behind the law. This matter because it helps ensure that property owners can effectively communicate their boundaries, which could enhance safety and reduce potential disputes over trespassing.
