Plain-language change summary

The recent changes to House Bill 710 mainly involve the addition of more sponsors for the bill, which now include Representatives T. Brown, Lambeth, Cunningham, and Cotham. This increase in sponsorship can indicate broader support for the bill, which aims to allocate $2 million for a Mental Health Crisis Unit Pilot Program in schools.
