MINOR
The bill was reformatted from a legislative management study request into a formal enrolled bill with certification of passage. The core policy content remains unchanged - it still directs legislative management to study kratom uses and regulation implementation during the 2025-26 interim. The changes are primarily procedural, converting the document from a draft to an officially enrolled version ready for governor's signature.
