Plain-language change summary

In the updated version of Senate Bill 574, the wording around the importance of water resources has been slightly modified but essentially keeps the core message the same. The phrase "healthyand sustainable" was changed to "healthy and sustainable," correcting a formatting issue. This matters because clear and accurate language in legislation helps ensure that its goals and commitments regarding water resources and food production are easily understood and taken seriously.
