Plain-language change summary

The recent changes to Bill SJR 13 include the removal of text that previously referenced "22 organizations in Ireland and the United States." Additionally, the section that previously stated, "Money Appropriated in this Bill: None" now appears streamlined without the extra wording. These adjustments clarify the bill's content and focus, making it easier for readers to understand that no funding is being allocated while maintaining a simpler format. This matters because it helps avoid confusion about the bill's intentions and ensures that its provisions are clearly communicated.
