MINOR

The bill text was updated to reflect the 'Floor Version' rather than the 'Committee Substitute', indicating it has passed the House committee and is ready for final floor action. The substantive content regarding the creation of the Perinatal Quality Improvement Revolving Fund, its purpose, and the effective date remains unchanged. The primary differences are formatting updates, including the removal of committee-specific headers and the addition of floor-specific page markers.

TECHNICAL

The document header was changed from 'Committee Substitute' to 'Floor Version' to reflect the bill's progression in the legislative process.

Page footers were updated to include 'HB4285 HFLR' and notes about bold face denoting amendments, replacing the previous 'Req. No.' tracking numbers.

The specific 'Committee Substitute' title page and the 'Committee Report' section were removed as they are no longer relevant to the floor version.
