MODERATE
The bill text was reformatted to replace the old bill number (BR 861) with the new number (SB 333/GA) and updated page counts. The substantive policy content regarding grant eligibility, funding priorities, and departmental structures remains unchanged, though the formatting of the grant list was slightly adjusted for clarity.
TECHNICAL

The bill identifier was changed from '26 RS BR 861' to '26 RS SB 333/GA', indicating the bill has progressed from introduction to its current version.

Page numbering was updated from 'Page 1 of 4' to 'Page 1 of 5' to reflect the new document length.

The header text was updated to include the new bill number (SB 333/GA) instead of the old one (BR 861).

The list of eligible recipients for firearm sales proceeds was restructured from a single paragraph with sub-points into a numbered list (1-5) for better readability, without changing the eligible entities.
