What changed between versions

Engrossed Enrolled · 1 edit · Aug 1, 2025
MINOR
The bill was finalized from its 'Engrossed' version to the 'Enrolled' version, which is the official text signed into law. The primary substantive change is the correction of a formatting error in Section 26, where the word 'basis' was accidentally split across two lines in the previous version. This change ensures the text regarding library privileges for non-residents is clean and ready for official publication.
TECHNICAL

Corrected a line-break formatting error in Section 26 that split the word 'basis' across two lines, restoring the text to a standard, readable format.
