MINOR

The bill was amended to clarify that designating authorities must submit names of both 'members and designees' to the Senate secretary, rather than just 'designees.' This change ensures that the full composition of the K-12 School Safety Task Force is properly recorded and submitted by the August 1, 2025 deadline.

REQUIREMENT

The submission requirement for the task force was updated to explicitly include both 'members and designees' in the list of names submitted to the secretary of the Senate.
