MINOR

The bill was converted from an 'Enrolled' version to an 'Original' version, reverting the text to its initial draft before final approval. This change removes the official signature block and digest found in the enrolled version but retains the core legislative language requesting a study on the PRIME Act.

Scope change

The scope of the bill remains unchanged; it still directs the Department of Agriculture and Forestry to study the PRIME Act and submit a report by March 1, 2026.

TECHNICAL

Removed the 'ENROLLED' header and the official digest summary that appeared at the end of the document.

Reorganized the layout and line breaks to reflect the original draft format rather than the finalized enrolled format.

Removed the signatures of the Speaker of the House and President of the Senate, which are only added after a bill is officially passed and enrolled.
