MINOR
The document shows minor formatting and spacing adjustments rather than substantive policy changes. The text regarding the amendment to Section 16-4-418 of the Montana Code Annotated remains identical in meaning, and the bill title and signing date format are unchanged. No new definitions, funding amounts, eligibility criteria, or enforcement mechanisms were added or removed.
TECHNICAL
Removed extra blank lines at the end of the document.
Adjusted whitespace around the 'HOUSE BILL NO. 391' text, likely a formatting correction.
