MINOR

The bill was reengrossed to correct a grammatical error in the district boundary definition, changing 'district' to 'districts' to reflect that multiple Senate and House members may be involved. Additionally, the header was updated to reflect the new 'Reengrossed' status and adjusted the spacing of the bill number.

Corrected a grammatical inconsistency in the district boundary section by changing the singular 'district' to the plural 'districts' to accurately describe the relationship between legislative members and the area.
