MODERATE
The bill transitioned from its initial introduction to its final enrolled form, primarily updating the bill number, adding the sponsor's name, and refining the historical text to accurately reflect the fraternity's founding dates and founders. No substantive policy changes, funding, or eligibility criteria were altered; the modifications are administrative and editorial in nature to finalize the document for official passage.
