The amendment added two additional senators (Crabtree and Duhamel) and two additional representatives (Heermann and Novstrup) as sponsors, and removed the technical legislative markup language (line numbers and formatting notes) to finalize the commemoration document. This change does not alter the bill's purpose—honoring the Hill City School Board—but expands its sponsorship base.
