What changed between versions

Introduced → Enrolled · 3 edits · Jun 6, 2025
MINOR
The bill transitioned from an introduced draft to an enrolled version, incorporating final formatting and signature lines required for official state law. The substantive policy content regarding out-of-state student placements remained unchanged, with the main difference being the addition of gubernatorial approval and passage dates.
TECHNICAL

Added official enrolled formatting including chapter designation, signature lines for Senate, House, and Governor approval, and passage dates (April 1, 2025 for Senate; May 27, 2025 for House).

Removed the editor's summary section that explained the bill's purpose and readability standards, as this is not part of the final enacted law.

Changed the document header from 'Senate Bill 982' to 'Enrolled Senate Bill 982' to indicate final passage and approval.
