MINOR
The bill version changed from 'Rerevised' to 'Revised' status, indicating it is now at the stage where amendments have been adopted on second reading in the Second House. The House sponsorship list was shortened by removing two co-sponsors (Clifford and Taggart), while Senate co-sponsors remain unchanged. This reflects normal legislative progression rather than substantive policy changes.
TECHNICAL

Removed two House co-sponsors (Clifford and Taggart) from the sponsorship list, reducing the number of House sponsors from three to two.

Changed document header from 'REREVISED' to 'REVISED' and updated the amendment status description to indicate amendments were adopted on second reading in the Second House.
