MINOR
This bill transitions HB 2002 from its original introduced version to its enrolled, final version. The substantive legislative text regarding voter registration cancellation remains unchanged. The primary differences are formatting and structural elements: the bill now includes official session headers (2025 SESSION, ENROLLED), chapter information, bill approval stamps, and page numbering typical of enacted legislation. No policy changes, eligibility modifications, or substantive text alterations were made to the voter registration cancellation provisions.
Scope change
The bill's scope and applicability remain unchanged; this is a procedural transition from introduced to enrolled status.
TECHNICAL
Added official session headers, chapter information, bill approval stamps, and page numbering to reflect the bill's final enrolled status.
Removed original introduced version metadata including sponsor names, committee referral information, and bill identification numbers.
Reformatted text layout to match standard enrolled bill formatting with different line breaks and spacing.
