MINOR
The bill text was converted from an original draft to an enrolled version, primarily involving the removal of the legislative digest and the addition of the Speaker's signature block. The substantive content, including the names of the deceased children and the specific details of their lives, remains unchanged. This change reflects the procedural step of finalizing the bill for the Governor's signature rather than altering any policy.
TECHNICAL
Removed the 'Digest' section, which is a non-binding summary prepared by legislative staff and is not part of the actual law.
Added the 'Speaker of the House of Representatives' signature block and changed the document header to 'ENROLLED', indicating the bill has been approved by both chambers and is ready for final signing.
