Plain-language change summary

The updated version of Bill HB 662 includes a detailed salary schedule for various ranks within the State Highway Patrol that specifies the annual pay for each position based on experience. Additionally, the bill now allows members of the State Highway Patrol to take secondary jobs, as long as it doesn't negatively impact their primary duties or create conflicts of interest. This change is important because it aims to improve the financial well-being of officers while ensuring that their secondary employment does not detract from their responsibilities in law enforcement.
