1. Highlighting Changes
   Budget bill items may have changes to dollars and/or language that are stricken/italicized to show the changes, but this is not always the easiest way to view the changes. Now, users may click a "Show Highlight" link to display stricken dollars/text in red text color, and italicized dollars/text in yellow background color. To turn off the highlighting, click the "Hide Highlight" link.
   
2. Member Amendments
   All budget bills may pass through stages, such as Member Request and Floor Request, where they can be amended by members. Senators amend the Senate version of the budget bill, whereas Delegates amend the House version of the budget bill.  Even-numbered sessions typically have two budget bills, such as HB30 and HB29, that members can amend.
