MINOR

This bill update transitions the document from an original introduction to a Senate Draft version, updating metadata such as bill numbers, dates, and template revisions. The core legislative text remains substantively unchanged, with only minor grammatical adjustments to verb agreement and punctuation.

TECHNICAL

Updated bill metadata including the title, version number, dates, and template revision identifiers to reflect the Senate Draft stage.

Corrected a grammatical error in the body text by changing 'authorizes' to 'authorize' to match the plural subject 'provisions'.

Adjusted punctuation in the preamble to include a period at the end of a sentence and added a closing quotation mark.
