Plain-language change summary

The recent amendments to Bill HB 1137 primarily involve adjustments to the language regarding the construction of an athletic facility at the University of South Dakota. Notably, the maximum cost adjustment for the project has been removed, allowing the Board of Regents to adjust the project's budget without a specified limit based on factors like inflation and new regulations. This change matters because it provides the Board with more flexibility in managing costs, potentially ensuring that the facility can be completed despite fluctuations in expenses and compliance requirements.
