MINOR
The bill text remains substantively unchanged, as the diff only reflects administrative updates to the document's header and footer. The primary change is a rebranding of the bill identifier from 'BR 1994' to 'SB 149/GA', indicating a shift in tracking or a correction of the bill number. No new policies, funding amounts, eligibility criteria, or legal requirements were added or removed.

Updated the document header and footer metadata to reflect the current bill number (SB 149) and session (26 RS), replacing the previous identifier (BR 1994).
