MINOR
The bill was re-enrolled as Act 313, transitioning from a Senate floor amendment draft to a finalized enrolled version. The substantive policy content regarding captive insurance regulations remains consistent, but the document now includes the full statutory text and official legislative formatting required for enactment.
Scope change
The scope of the bill remains focused on regulating domestic captive insurance companies in Louisiana, with no change to the entities or activities covered.
TECHNICAL
Added official 'ENROLLED' status and Act number 313, indicating the bill has passed all legislative stages and is ready for execution.
Included the complete statutory text for Subpart S of Chapter 2, Title 22, replacing the placeholder text that previously indicated the full law was omitted due to length.
Removed the 'Senate Floor Amendments' header and specific amendment tracking numbers, as the bill is now the final enacted version rather than a proposed amendment.
