MINOR
This bill was enacted into law as Chapter 34 of the 2025 Virginia Acts of Assembly. The primary change is the conversion of the bill from an 'Enrolled' draft to its final 'Chaptered' form, which includes formatting adjustments, page numbering, and the addition of the approval date (March 18, 2025). The substantive policy content regarding the semiconductor grant fund remains unchanged.
TECHNICAL
Added approval date (March 18, 2025) and chapter number (Chapter 34) to the final enacted text.
Removed the 'ENROLLED' header and replaced it with the final 'Approved' designation and formatting consistent with enacted Virginia laws.
Adjusted text formatting, including line breaks, indentation, and page numbering (e.g., '2 of 3') to match the official published format of Virginia Acts of Assembly.
