“CS” denotes a council substitute in the House and a committee substitute in the Senate, which is a substitute bill proposed by either a House council or Senate committee for a bill considered and amended by that council or committee. Each House council or Senate committee to which a bill is referred may adopt a substitute for that bill. If the previous council or committee of reference adopted a substitute for the bill, the next council or committee may adopt a substitute for that substitute. Occasionally, there will be a substitute for a substitute for a substitute for a substitute for a bill (CS/CS/CS/CS or C4). A House council or Senate committee substitute may also combine multiple bills from the same house.
