MODERATE

The bill was finalized for the Governor's signature, updating the title to 'Enrolled' and listing all co-sponsors. The core policy content regarding housing accessibility standards remains identical to the previous version, with no substantive changes to the rules or requirements.

Scope change

The bill's scope and applicability remain unchanged; the transition from 'A-Engrossed' to 'Enrolled' is a procedural step indicating the bill has passed both chambers and is ready for executive action.

TECHNICAL

The document header changed from 'A-Engrossed' to 'Enrolled' to reflect its final status before the Governor.

The list of bill sponsors was expanded to include all co-sponsors from both the Senate and House, whereas the previous version only listed the primary sponsors.

The 'SUMMARY' section, which provided a digest of the bill's features, was removed as it is no longer needed for the final enrolled version.

The page footer text was updated to reflect the final enrolled status and the date the Senate passed the bill.
