Plain-language change summary

House Bill 429 has been revised to include a provision that continues the funding for the North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine's Turtle Rescue Team. Previously, the funding for this initiative had expired in 2016, but the amendments ensure that money from special license plates will still be allocated to support their work in rehabilitating turtles. This change matters because it helps secure vital resources for wildlife conservation efforts, particularly for injured turtles in North Carolina.
