Plain-language change summary

In the latest version of SB 2376, one key change is that approval for Forks County's gaming operations has shifted from the Bureau of Indian Affairs to the Secretary of the Interior. This matters because it potentially streamlines the approval process and aligns the authority needed for gaming activities under a different federal agency.
