MINOR
The document provided is a legislative bill regarding pedestrian swinging bridges, but the text shown is entirely unrelated to that topic. Instead, it contains detailed amendments to a different law (KRS 67.083) that governs the general powers of county fiscal courts, including tax levies and public functions. The changes appear to be technical formatting adjustments, such as renumbering lines and adding or removing bracketed options like 'or' and 'by', rather than substantive policy shifts.
TECHNICAL

Line numbers were renumbered throughout the document, and minor formatting inconsistencies were corrected.

Bracketed editorial options (e.g., 'or', 'by') were added or removed in various subsections, likely to finalize the text for printing.
