MINOR
The bill was converted from an original draft to its enrolled final version, which standardized the formatting, corrected a grammatical error in the list of survivors (removing the redundant word 'grandchildren'), and removed the internal legislative digest and services notes that are not part of the final law.
TECHNICAL
Corrected a grammatical error in the 'leaves behind' clause by removing the duplicate word 'grandchildren'.
Deleted the 'Digest' section and Senate Legislative Services notes, as these are administrative summaries not included in the final enrolled law.
Reformatted the document layout, including headers, page numbers, and spacing, to match the official enrolled style.
