Plain-language change summary

In the latest version of Bill HJ 942, the main change is the addition of dates indicating when the House of Delegates and the Senate agreed to the bill, specifically February 17 and February 23, 2017, respectively. The previous version listed a long list of sponsors and patrons for the bill, but that information has been removed. This change matters because it simplifies the text by focusing on key actions rather than listing all supporters, making it clearer and more concise for understanding the bill’s legislative progress.
