The amendment corrects a highway description in § 31-4-235 by removing the reference to "the south boundary of Wind Cave National Park on the north" and replacing it with a more precise geographic coordinate ("near the east-west sixteenth line in the north half of section twenty-four, township six south, range five east"), which NARROWS and clarifies the bill's scope by providing more accurate boundary language for the state trunk highway system.
