Plain-language change summary

The updated version of House Bill 407 includes a broader range of sponsorship, now featuring additional sponsors beyond just Representative Roberson. It also specifies how the extra fees from special registration plates will be distributed among several funds, including the North Carolina Land and Water Fund and the Parks and Recreation Trust Fund.
