MINOR
The bill text was finalized and formatted for official signing, changing the header from a draft introduction to an enrolled act. The substantive policy regarding arraignment timelines and the effective date remained unchanged throughout the process.
Scope change
The bill's scope and applicability are unchanged; the text describes the same legal requirements for arraignment timelines and the same effective date.
TECHNICAL
The document header was updated from 'Introduced' to 'Enrolled' to reflect that the bill has passed both legislative chambers and is ready for the Governor's signature.
Signatures and dates for the House Speaker, Governor, and Secretary of State were added to the bottom of the document to complete the enrollment process.
The 'SUMMARY' section, which provided an editor's brief statement of the measure's features, was removed as it is not part of the final enacted law.
