MINOR
The bill transitioned from an A-Engrossed version to an Enrolled version, which is the final form ready for the Governor's signature.

Scope change
No substantive change to the bill's scope or applicability; the content remains identical to the A-Engrossed version.
TECHNICAL
Removed the 'A-Engrossed' header and editorial summary section that explained the bill's purpose.
Added official Enrolled status headers, signatures from Senate and House officers, and the Governor's approval section.
