MINOR
This bill was converted from an 'Engrossed' version to an 'Enrolled' version, which is the final version approved by both legislative chambers and the Governor. The substantive policy content remains unchanged, with the only differences being formatting, spacing, and the addition of certification signatures and voting records.
TECHNICAL
The bill text was reformatted with improved spacing and line breaks for the final enrolled version, while the actual legislative content and provisions remained identical.
Added certification signatures and voting records showing the bill passed the Senate (31-0) and House (137-4) on May 14 and May 28, 2025, respectively, and was approved by the Governor.
Removed draft formatting markers and placeholder text that were present in the earlier engrossed version but are not needed in the final enrolled bill.
