Plain-language change summary

The amendment to Bill HR 317 extends the recognition of "Hunger Action Month" from just September 2025 to also include September 2026. This change is important because it highlights a longer commitment to raising awareness about hunger issues in Pennsylvania, encouraging ongoing efforts to address food insecurity over two years instead of just one.
