MINOR
The bill underwent minor formatting and numbering changes during its legislative journey from introduction to current version. The most notable substantive change is the removal of the word 'to' before 'Collect' in section 9(d), which is a grammatical correction rather than a policy change. The bill number was updated from BR1887 to SB 266/GA, indicating it has progressed through the legislative process. These changes are primarily technical and administrative rather than affecting the bill's substantive policy provisions.
