What changed in the latest version
2 added · 19 removedPlain-language change summary
The recent amendments to Bill HB 898 simplify how municipal populations are calculated after a partial census. Instead of a more complicated process, the bill now allows the Secretary of State to simply adjust the last complete census number by the changes shown in the partial census. This change is significant because it streamlines the process, making it easier and quicker for municipalities to update their population counts, which can impact funding and representation.
