Plain-language change summary

The changes made to Senate Bill 1003 involve clarifying language about the requirements for processing applications related to certain wastewater systems. The updated version specifies that additional information is required but removes some previous references to the bill's filing details. This matters because it streamlines the application process and makes it clearer for applicants what information they need to provide, potentially speeding up reviews and approvals.
