MINOR

The bill was amended to correct a typo in the name of the recipient institution, changing 'Louisiana Arts and Science Center Museum' to 'Louisiana Art and Science Museum'. Additionally, the text was reorganized to improve readability by moving the phrase 'all such projects to be in the city of Baton Rouge' to a new line. These changes are technical corrections that clarify the intended recipient of funds without altering the bill's financial scope or legal requirements.

TECHNICAL

Corrected the name of the recipient institution from 'Louisiana Arts and Science Center Museum' to 'Louisiana Art and Science Museum'.
