MINOR

The bill text has transitioned from its 'Engrossed' version to the final 'Enrolled' version, which is the official text signed into law. There are no substantive policy changes, such as new rules, funding amounts, or eligibility criteria. The only modifications are the removal of draft page headers and the correction of a minor formatting error in the text.

TECHNICAL

Removed draft page headers labeled 'HB2877 Engrossed' that were present in the previous version but are not part of the final legal text.

Corrected a spacing error in the text regarding the selection of a registered nurse member, changing 'from the recommendations' to 'from the recommendations'.
