Plain-language change summary

The recent amendments to HB 1889 clarified the structure and appointment process for a legislative council, ensuring equal representation for political parties in the council's formation. It also specified that council members, including legislative officials, will serve terms that align with their elected positions, and emphasized that the vice-chairman cannot hold the same position consecutively.
