MINOR

The bill was reorganized from an introduced draft to a formal Senate version, updating the title to 'Charlie Kirk Loop 202' and correcting the statute number to 41-837.02. The most significant substantive change is the addition of a new Section 2, which clarifies legislative intent by explicitly listing the underlying freeway segments (Red Mountain, Santan, and Congressman Ed Pastor Freeways) that will retain their names despite the new designation.

Scope change

The scope of the bill remains focused on renaming Loop 202, but the applicability is now more precisely defined by explicitly listing the constituent freeway segments that are exempt from the new name.

DEFINITION

Added Section 2 to explicitly list the underlying segments (Red Mountain Freeway, Santan Freeway, and Congressman Ed Pastor Freeway) that retain their original names.

TECHNICAL

Updated the bill title and statute section number from 'Charlie Kirk highway' and '41-837.02' to 'Charlie Kirk Loop 202' and '41-837.02' respectively.

Removed the list of sponsoring legislators and prefiling metadata from the text.
