Added signatures from the Senate President, House Speaker, Chief Clerk, and Governor, along with approval dates and page numbering, transforming the document from a reengrossed bill into a signed act.

Removed introductory session headers, committee listings, and bill summary text that were present in the reengrossed version but are not part of the enacted law.

Replaced the 'Senate Bill' header with 'Signed Act' and updated the sponsorship section to reflect the final legislative status.
