Plain-language change summary

The recent amendments to HR 3 streamline the process for abandoning legislation. Now, the chief clerk will directly file the abandoned bill without needing to request its return first. This change simplifies the procedure and ensures that once a bill is abandoned, it's officially marked as such and cannot be revived, which helps maintain clarity in the legislative process.
