MINOR

The bill was renumbered from LC 3558 to HB 331.1, and the text was reorganized to fix formatting errors in the definitions section. The substantive legal definitions for terms like 'Adult-use dispensary' and 'Affiliate' remain unchanged, though their numbering was adjusted to correct a previous sequencing mistake.

TECHNICAL

The bill number was updated from LC 3558 to HB 331.1, and the introductory text was restructured to list the sponsors correctly.

The numbering of the definitions section was reorganized (e.g., items 2 through 11 were renumbered 3 through 12) to correct a sequencing error where the text for definition (3) appeared before definition (2).
