Plain-language change summary

The updated version of House Bill 794 now includes additional sponsors and a clearer referral process. Previously, the bill listed only one sponsor, but now it has four, which can help gather more support for the ideas presented. Additionally, the referral information has been rephrased for clarity, making it easier to understand the next steps for the bill. This matters because having more sponsors may enhance the bill's chances of advancing through the legislative process.
