Plain-language change summary

The amendment to Bill SB 90 primarily clarifies and refines the language regarding occupational licenses for veterans and service members. Specifically, it updates references to certain sections of the Utah Code without changing the substance of the law. This change is important because it ensures that the bill reflects current legislative terminology and is easier for officials and the public to understand, thereby supporting veterans and service members in obtaining the licenses they need for their careers.
