Introduced Version → Committee Substitute · 4 edits

MODERATE

The bill was amended from its introduced version to a committee substitute version, primarily adding biographical details about Sheriff Jeremy Taylor and making minor text corrections. The substantive request to name a road in his honor remains unchanged.

TECHNICAL

Added parents' names (Stephen L. and Donna J. Taylor) and hometown (Keyser, West Virginia) to the biographical 'Whereas' clause.

Changed 'service his community' to 'servicing his community' for grammatical correction.

Changed 'identifying the bridge' to 'identifying the road' to match the resolution's subject matter, as no bridge is mentioned.

Removed semicolon after listing family members and replaced with 'and' for proper sentence structure.
