MINOR
The bill was finalized for signature after passing both legislative chambers. The substantive policy language regarding product liability protections for healthcare providers remained unchanged from the A-Engrossed version, with only formatting and signature page additions.
Scope change
No substantive change to the bill's scope or applicability; the enrolled version contains identical legal provisions as the A-Engrossed version.
TECHNICAL
Added signature page with dates and official signatures from Senate President, Governor, and Secretary of State to finalize the bill for enactment.
Removed editorial summary section explaining the bill's purpose, as this is not included in the final enrolled version.
Changed header from 'A-Engrossed' to 'Enrolled' to indicate the bill has passed both chambers and is ready for signature.
