MINOR
SB 1442 (the Third Validating Act of 2026) was approved by the Governor on June 17, 2026, and became Chapter 15 of the statutes. The diff reflects only the standard transition from enrolled bill format to chaptered law format: the signature blocks were replaced with the state authentication header, a chapter number was assigned, and page headers/footers were reformatted. No substantive policy changes were made.
TECHNICAL
The bill was formally enacted as Chapter 15 of the 2026 statutes, with the Governor's approval date (June 17, 2026) and filing date recorded in place of the enrolled bill's blank signature fields.
Page headers changed from 'SB 1442' format to 'Ch. 15' format, and line wrapping was adjusted throughout to fit the new page layout. No statutory language was altered.
