MINOR
The document has transitioned from a Committee Substitute version to the final Enrolled version, which is the text signed by the Governor and sent to the Secretary of State. The substantive policy content of the bill remains unchanged; the differences are purely technical, involving the removal of draft committee headers and the addition of final legislative identifiers.
TECHNICAL
Removed draft committee headers and replaced them with final 'ENROLLED' status and official legislative identifiers.
