MINOR
This bill was amended to add an emergency declaration and renumbered sections after a line was removed from the original text. The substantive policy content regarding the Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources Commission remains unchanged, with no modifications to membership requirements, appointment processes, or operational provisions.
TECHNICAL

Added an emergency declaration provision stating the bill takes effect upon passage or approval by the Governor.

Removed the original bill title line '25 RS BR 1909' and replaced it with '25 RS SB 245/VO' indicating the bill was vetoed and overridden.

Reordered the bill text structure by moving the 'Be it enacted' language to the second line and adjusting section numbering accordingly.
