Modified section 378.213(2) to require that recorded notices must be in a substantially specified form, adding a template notice for landowners to use.

Modified section 376.308(2)(e) to reference the new definition in section 378.213 when determining if a condition qualifies for the natural geology defense.

Changed several word choices from 'natural geology substance' to 'natural geological substance' and 'mined lands' to 'formerly mined lands' for consistency and precision.

Added metadata headers including committee information, bill type (General Bill), and timestamps that were not present in the original version.
