The amendment added Representative Novstrup and Senators Crabtree, Duhamel, and Perry as co-sponsors while removing technical formatting language, but made no substantive changes to the commemoration itself. This merely expands legislative support for honoring Greg Blue's 35 years of school board service without altering the bill's purpose.
