Plain-language change summary

The updated version of Senate Resolution 8656 includes an added line that specifies a committee of two Senate members will be appointed by the President of the Senate to inform the Governor that the Senate is organized and ready to conduct business. The previous version included a certification line from the Secretary of the Senate, which has now been removed. This change emphasizes the procedural aspect of notifying the Governor without the additional certification details, streamlining the resolution process and making it clearer for readers.
