The bill was converted from an original draft to its enrolled, final version, which includes the addition of the Speaker of the House's signature and official page numbering. No substantive policy changes, funding amounts, or eligibility criteria were altered; the text of the commendation for Teach For America remains identical.
TECHNICAL
Added the signature line for the Speaker of the House of Representatives and updated page headers to reflect the 'Enrolled' status.
Removed the original draft header and the legislative digest section, which is not part of the final law.
