MINOR

The bill was renumbered from LC 750 to HB 347 and updated to reflect the 69th Legislature session. The content appears to be a standard legislative reformatting process rather than a substantive policy change, as the visible text regarding wildlife management remains identical.

TECHNICAL

The bill number was changed from LC 750 to HB 347, and the header was updated to include the bill number in the title section.

Page headers were updated to reflect the new bill number (HB 347) instead of the original LC 750 designation.
