The bill text was finalized from its 'A-Engrossed' version to the 'Enrolled' version ready for signing. The substantive policy content regarding sunset dates and fund transfers remains unchanged, but the document now includes official signatures from House and Senate leadership and the Governor.
TECHNICAL

Header changed from 'A-Engrossed' to 'Enrolled' to indicate the bill has passed both legislative chambers and is ready for final signature.

Added signature blocks for the House Speaker, Governor, and Secretary of State to formally certify the bill.

Removed the 'SUMMARY' section and 'LC 321' legislative committee identifier, which are editorial elements not part of the final law text.
