MINOR

The transition from the Engrossed to the Enrolled version of HB 1807 involves primarily technical formatting updates and minor text spacing adjustments rather than substantive policy changes. The bill's core requirements for nursing education programs, including curriculum development and faculty qualifications, remain unchanged.

TECHNICAL

Removed page header footers containing the 'Engrossed' status and replaced them with 'Enrolled' status, indicating the bill is in its final form ready for signature.

Adjusted whitespace and spacing in the list of educational resources and accreditation evidence requirements to improve text formatting without altering the legal meaning.
