MODERATE
This bill changed from an introduced draft to an enrolled version, adding formal signatures, dates, and official formatting while keeping the core constitutional amendment text about changing the state auditor role to state comptroller and updating succession procedures for the governor and lieutenant governor.
Scope change
The bill's substantive scope remains the same; changes are primarily formatting and procedural additions required for official enrollment.
TECHNICAL
Added official enrollment formatting including signatures for Senate President, President Pro Tempore, and Speaker of the House, plus passage dates.
Added printing code instructions explaining how amendments and additions will appear in the official code.
Removed introductory digest text that summarized the bill's purpose and affected citations, which is not needed in the enrolled version.
Changed header from 'Introduced Senate Resolution' to 'Enrolled Senate Resolution' to reflect official passage status.
