MINOR

The bill was updated to reflect the official list of sponsoring representatives and reorganized the text to remove internal tracking codes. The core policy content regarding the declaration of April 2026 as County Government Month remains unchanged.

TECHNICAL

The list of sponsoring representatives was expanded to include additional names (Alexander, Breen, MacDonell, Miller, Paiz, Rheingans, Rogers, and Witwer) alongside Rep. Bierlein.

Internal tracking codes and page headers (e.g., 'M 26H_HR0272_INTR_1') were removed to clean up the text for final adoption.

The order of the 'Whereas' clauses was rearranged, moving the clause about mental health and justice services to appear before the clause about parks and recreation, though the total content of the clauses remains identical.
