The bill text was updated to reflect its progression from the House Committee Substitute to the Floor version, incorporating the names of the Senate sponsor (Coleman) and updating the page headers to indicate the 'Floor Version'.

Scope change
None; the scope and applicability of the tax provisions are identical in both versions.
TECHNICAL
Added the Senate sponsor's name (Coleman) to the bill header and updated page footers to reflect the 'House of Representatives - Floor Version'.
