The amendment added Representatives Novstrup and Senators Crabtree, Duhamel, and Perry as additional sponsors of the commemoration, and corrected a formatting error in the word "twenty-five" from the introduced version. This change strengthens the bill by expanding its sponsorship base while maintaining its core purpose of honoring Brad Olson's 25 years of service on the Aberdeen School District Board.
