MINOR
The bill transitioned from an A-Engrossed version to an Enrolled version, which is the final version sent to the Governor for signature. The substantive policy content regarding student absence recording and reporting remains unchanged, though the document formatting and metadata were updated to reflect final passage by both legislative chambers.
TECHNICAL
Removed the 'A-Engrossed' header and summary section that explained the bill's purpose in plain language.
Added official Enrolled page headers, signatures from Senate leadership and the Governor, and filing information from the Secretary of State.
Changed the document title from 'A-Engrossed' to 'Enrolled' to indicate the bill has passed both chambers and is ready for executive action.
