Plain-language change summary

The amendments to Bill SB 945 involve removing a requirement for the Department of Transportation to provide information about the Trust Fund on its website. Instead, the focus has shifted back to just updating the registration of vehicles without including specific online access guidelines. This change is important because it simplifies the bill and may ease the burden on the department, while still ensuring that vehicle registration processes remain clear and effective.
