MINOR

The bill text was updated to reflect its official House Bill number (HB 134) instead of the original committee reference code (LC0413). This change formalizes the bill's identity for the legislative record and public tracking, ensuring it is correctly identified as a House-originated measure.

TECHNICAL

The bill's identifier was changed from 'LC0413' (likely a committee or tracking code) to 'HB 134' (House Bill 134) to align with standard legislative numbering conventions.
