MINOR

The bill was finalized for signing (Enrolled) after minor formatting corrections. The most significant substantive change is a reordering of words in a damages clause, shifting 'collected' to appear before 'by' to improve sentence flow. No new policies, funding amounts, dates, or eligibility criteria were added or removed.

TECHNICAL

Reordered the phrase 'collected by the third-party' to 'collected by the third-party' in the damages section to improve grammatical flow.
