MINOR
The bill transitioned from an 'Introduced' status to an 'Engrossed' status, indicating it has passed the House and is now ready for final Senate action. The primary substantive change is the addition of multiple new Senators to the sponsorship list, expanding the coalition of supporters. Additionally, the text includes new page markers and a specific 'Final Reading' date of April 21, 2026, which are procedural updates rather than changes to the bill's policy content.
TECHNICAL

Inserted a 'Final Reading' date of April 21, 2026, and additional page breaks into the document text.
