MINOR
The bill was renamed from 'Act 751' to 'SB 374' and the approval date was removed from the document, indicating a transition from a previous legislative session to the current 2025 session. This is primarily a technical update reflecting the bill's renumbering and current session status rather than a substantive policy change.
