Plain-language change summary

The amendment to Bill HCR 4403 adds the term "expanded and rehabilitated" before "Joel Pritchard State Library," which emphasizes that the library has undergone both growth and restoration. It also removes the word "rehabilitated" from its previous context, simplifying the language. This change is significant because it highlights the transformation of the facility, making it clearer to the public that the building has been enhanced, not just restored.
