MINOR
The bill was transitioned from an introduced draft to a House Engrossed version, incorporating minor text corrections and formatting updates. The most significant substantive change is the insertion of a non-breaking space character before the phrase 'In 2011' in the biographical section, likely to fix a formatting error from the original draft. No changes were made to the bill's scope, eligibility, funding, or legal requirements.
TECHNICAL
A non-breaking space character was inserted before 'In 2011' in the biographical narrative to correct a formatting inconsistency.
The header was updated to reflect the official 'House Engrossed' status, replacing the 'Introduced Version' label.
Minor formatting adjustments were applied to the resolution title and introductory text to align with standard legislative formatting.
