MINOR
The primary change is a shift in the bill's procedural status from a committee substitute offered by the House Committee on Agriculture and Consumer Affairs to a formal House Committee Substitute authored by specific representatives. This indicates the bill has moved to a later stage of the legislative process where the committee has finalized its version for the full House to consider.
PROCEDURAL
The bill text was updated to reflect its new status as a formal House Committee Substitute, listing the specific sponsors (Rhodes, Leverett, Ridley, Williams, and Corbett) who drafted the version, replacing the previous introductory text about the committee offering a substitute.
