MINOR
The bill moved from its Engrossed version to the final Enrolled version, which is the text signed into law. The changes are primarily technical, involving the removal of draft headers and minor formatting adjustments to spacing and punctuation. No substantive policy changes, such as new funding, altered eligibility rules, or modified definitions, were made in this transition.
