MINOR
The bill was converted from a prefiled draft to an enrolled act, indicating it has been signed into law. The substantive text remains largely the same, but the formatting was adjusted to reorganize the return-to-work program description and update the definitions for state agencies.
Scope change
The scope of applicability for the definition of 'Agency' was narrowed to require a minimum of fifteen employees, whereas the original draft did not specify this threshold.
DEFINITION

Added a requirement that an 'Agency' must have fifteen or more employees to be subject to the ADA provisions.

TECHNICAL

Reorganized the text describing the transitional employment return-to-work program to clarify the roles of the Office of Risk Management and the Office of the Governor.

Removed the legislative digest, which is informational and not part of the final law.
