MINOR
This bill was converted from an enrolled Senate Act to a Senate Bill, changing its status from final legislation to a bill under consideration. The substantive content remains largely the same, with minor formatting adjustments and the addition of a committee report showing the bill was favorably reported by the Corrections and Criminal Law Committee.
TECHNICAL
Changed document title from 'SENATE ENROLLED ACT No. 259' to 'SENATE BILL No. 259', indicating the bill is still in the legislative process rather than finalized.
Added committee report showing the bill was read, referred to committee, and reported favorably with a vote of 8 yeas to 1 nay.
Adjusted formatting and layout of the document, including adding line numbers and changing the header information to reflect the Senate Bill format rather than the enrolled Act format.
