The document version changed from 'Engrossed' to 'Enrolled', indicating the bill has passed all legislative stages and is now ready for the Governor's signature. A minor formatting correction was made to a page header, changing the text 'ensure there are no provide for a prohibition on conflicts of' to 'provide for a prohibition on conflicts of', which clarifies the intended legal language regarding conflict of interest rules.
