MODERATE

The bill text was converted from an 'Engrossed' version to an 'Enrolled' version, which is the final version approved by both legislative chambers and ready for the Governor's signature. The substantive policy content remains identical, with only formatting, spacing, and certification signatures added to reflect the official enrollment process.
