MINOR
The bill version was updated from 'Rerevised' to 'Revised' with a change in the amendment adoption notation, indicating the bill has been amended on second reading in the second house. The list of House sponsors was shortened by removing one name (Sirota) from the co-sponsorship list, which is a technical change affecting only the sponsorship record rather than the bill's substantive content.
