Plain-language change summary

In the revised version of Senate Bill 540, the language describing a funding amount has been clarified. The total allocated for public instruction is now explicitly stated as "twenty million nine hundred sixty-one thousand one hundred eighty," making it clearer how much money is being discussed. This change is important because precise funding amounts help ensure transparency and understanding of budget allocations in education.
