MINOR
The bill was amended to clarify how the invitation committee is formed by specifying that the Speaker of the House appoints the five Representatives and the President Pro Tempore of the Senate appoints the five Senators, rather than leaving the appointment authority to the presiding officers generally. This change adds clarity to the appointment process while maintaining the same committee composition and event details.
REQUIREMENT

Changed the appointment authority for the invitation committee from 'presiding officers of the respective houses' to specifically 'Speaker of the House' for Representatives and 'President Pro Tempore of the Senate' for Senators.
