MINOR
The primary change is the transition of the bill from its 'Engrossed' version to the 'Enrolled' version, which is the final text sent to the Governor for signature. The content of the legislation itself, including its scope, definitions, and requirements, remains unchanged. This update reflects the standard legislative process where the bill is finalized after passing both chambers.
TECHNICAL
The document header was updated to reflect the 'Enrolled' status, indicating the bill has been approved by both the House and Senate and is ready for final executive action.
