AI-generated summary
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
The enrolled version added four additional sponsors (Representatives Emery, Goodwin, and Muckey; Senators Duhamel, Perry, Pischke, and Schoenfish) and made minor grammatical edits, including changing "parents, the children" to "parents, and the children" — these changes have no effect on the bill's purpose of honoring Joyce Waddell's retirement.
