MINOR
The bill text was updated to reflect that it has been passed by both the House and Senate, and the bill number was changed from a legislative committee reference (LC 47 4073) to the final bill number (HB 1535/AP). These are procedural updates indicating the bill's progress through the legislative process rather than changes to the actual policy or law.
TECHNICAL
Updated the bill header and version number to show it has passed both chambers of the legislature.
