The bill text was reformatted to replace old-style indentation with new capitalization and bolding conventions used for tracking amendments to existing statutes.

The bill number was updated from SB 50 to SB 26-050, likely reflecting its re-introduction in a new legislative session.

The signature page was updated to reflect the new session year (2026) and included the Governor's approval with a new date.
