MINOR

The bill was converted from a 'Revised' draft to a 'Signed Act' version, finalizing the text for official adoption. The primary substantive change is the reorganization of the sponsoring legislators' names into a single, continuous list to ensure all sponsors are correctly recorded. Additionally, the text was reflowed to remove line numbers and formatting markers used during the drafting process, while retaining the original policy content regarding Missing Persons Day.

TECHNICAL

The list of Senate and House sponsors was restructured from multiple lines into a single continuous paragraph to finalize the official record of who sponsored the bill.

Line numbers, page headers, and legislative status markers (e.g., 'Revised', 'Final Reading') were removed to produce the clean, final text of the signed act.
