TECHNICAL

The bill number was updated from A3180 to A3180--A to indicate it is an amended version.

The short title was changed from 'feathered lives also count act' to 'bird safe buildings act' for clarity.

Procedural text was added to record that the bill was re-referred to the Committee on Governmental Operations after amendment.

Names of several sponsoring legislators were removed from the list of sponsors, likely due to a change in sponsorship or a formatting error in the amendment process.
