AI-generated summary
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
The amendment added four additional sponsors (Senators Duhamel and Perry, and Representatives Emery, Moore, Muckey, Pourier, and Wittman) to the commemoration and fixed a formatting error by correcting "non-21 tribal" to "non-tribal." The change strengthens the commemoration by broadening legislative support for the recognition of Generations Indigenous Ways.
