MINOR
The document appears to be a formatting conversion from a web interface to a formal enrolled legislative document. The substantive content of Senate Bill 128, which amends requirements for municipalities to designate an official newspaper, remains unchanged. The primary differences are the removal of browser compatibility warnings and the addition of official enrollment signatures and certification language.
TECHNICAL
