Plain-language change summary

The proposed amendment to HB 1857 clarifies the definition of "commercial aggregates," which now specifically includes materials integral to producing asphalt and concrete rather than just mixtures of various minerals. This change is important because it helps define what materials are covered under the bill, ensuring that the legislation is tailored to the specific products used in construction. By providing a clearer definition, the amendment aims to improve understanding and compliance among consumers and industry professionals.
