The amendment added four additional senators (Crabtree, Davis, Deibert, and Duhamel) and three representatives (Bahmuller, Sjaarda, and changed Perry from a senator to a representative sponsor) to the list of legislators introducing this commemoration for Glenn Muller. This change simply expands the bipartisan support for the resolution without altering its substantive purpose of honoring Muller's agricultural career.
