MINOR
The bill transitioned from its 'Engrossed' version to the final 'Enrolled' version, which is the official text signed into law. The changes consist entirely of formatting updates, including the revision of the document title and the renumbering of page headers, with no substantive policy, legal, or procedural modifications to the criminal law provisions.
TECHNICAL
The document title was updated from 'HB2546 Engrossed' to 'HB2546 Enrolled' to reflect its final status, and page header footers were adjusted to match the new version.
