CosmeticWhat changed in REFERRED IN SENATEcompared with REPORTED IN HOUSE (Aug 27, 2026)

Technical corrections only. The changes between v2 and v4 reflect the bill's progression from being reported in the House to being passed by the House and referred to the Senate. The operative text designating the bandstand remains identical in both versions, with no substantive policy changes.

Skipping v3 (ENGROSSED IN HOUSE). Those versions changed too little to need their own analysis, so they reuse REPORTED IN HOUSE's. Changes are measured from the most recent version analyzed on its own.
