Introduced → Enrolled · 3 edits · Jun 20, 2025
MINOR
The bill transitioned from an introduced draft to an enrolled version ready for signing into law. The core policy content remains unchanged, but the document format was updated to reflect its final legislative status with official signatures and dates. This change signifies the bill has passed both legislative chambers and is awaiting the Governor's approval.
TECHNICAL

Header changed from 'Introduced' to 'Enrolled' status with official signatures from Senate Secretary, Senate President, and Governor, along with passage dates from both chambers.

Removed the 'SUMMARY' section that provided an editor's brief statement of the measure's essential features, which is standard for introduced bills but not needed in the final enrolled version.

Minor formatting adjustments to line breaks and spacing throughout the document to conform to enrolled bill standards.
