MINOR

The bill underwent a transition from a draft filing status to its first official edition, updating the document identifier and adding the specific Senate committee to which the bill was referred. These changes reflect the bill's progression through the legislative process rather than any alteration to the underlying policy or funding amounts.

TECHNICAL

The internal document tracking number was updated from a draft identifier (DRS45345-NOa-62) to the official bill edition number (S885-v-1).

The specific Senate committee responsible for reviewing the bill, 'Rules and Operations of the Senate,' and the date of referral (April 29, 2026) were added to the header.

A blank line following the 'Referred to' section was removed to streamline the document layout.
