The bill was formally enacted into law after being approved by the Governor and filed with the Secretary of State. The primary change is the conversion of the document from a 'House Engrossed Version' to a 'Chaptered Version,' indicating it has officially passed all legislative stages and become part of the state code. The substantive text regarding the water infrastructure finance program remains unchanged, though minor formatting adjustments were made to the title and description.
Scope change
The bill's scope and applicability remain unchanged; it continues to amend section 49-1333 of the Arizona Revised Statutes regarding the water infrastructure finance program.
TIMELINE
Added official dates for Governor approval and filing with the Secretary of State, confirming the bill has become law.
TECHNICAL
Changed the document title from 'House Engrossed Version' to 'Chaptered Version' and updated the bill designation from 'HB 2029' to 'Chapter 35'.
Adjusted the description line to remove the word 'Arizona' before 'Revised Statutes' for formatting consistency.
