MINOR
The bill transitioned from an A-Engrossed version to an Enrolled version, adding official signatures from the Senate, House, and Governor to finalize it into law. The substantive policy content regarding funding amounts and budget allocations for the Department of Environmental Quality remained unchanged between the two versions.
TECHNICAL
Added official signatures and dates for Senate passage, House passage, and Governor approval to complete the legislative process.
Changed the document title from 'A-Engrossed' to 'Enrolled' and removed the summary section, as enrolled bills do not include editorial summaries.
Removed the LC 9520 reference and A-Eng. SB 5520 designation, as these are no longer needed in the final enrolled version.
