Plain-language change summary

The bill HB 1431 has been updated to include a specific chapter designation (CHAPTER 336) and a date of approval (March 13, 2017). This change removes a more generic reference to "VIRGINIA ACTS OF ASSEMBLY" and gives a clearer identification of the bill within the legislative records. This matters because it helps to ensure proper tracking and referencing of the bill as it moves through the legislative process, making it easier for people to find and understand the law's details.
