What changed between versions

A-Engrossed → Enrolled · 4 edits · May 28, 2025
MODERATE
This bill transitioned from a draft version (A-Engrossed) to its final enrolled form for signing. The substantive policy content regarding the Public Records Advocate's budget of $1,172,941 and the July 1, 2025 effective date remained unchanged. The primary changes are procedural, adding official signatures from Senate leadership and the Governor, and removing draft-specific notes and summary sections.
TECHNICAL

Removed the 'A-Engrossed' header and replaced it with 'Enrolled' to indicate the bill has passed both legislative chambers and is ready for the Governor's signature.

Added signature lines for the Secretary of Senate, President of Senate, Secretary of State, and Governor to formally record their approval of the enrolled bill.

Removed the editor's summary and digest section, which is no longer needed once the bill is finalized and enrolled.

Removed internal drafting notes regarding budget references and formatting conventions for amended sections.
