MINOR

This bill converts HB 2539 from an enrolled legislative bill to a chaptered act, making it official law. The substantive content of the medical assistance statute remains unchanged, with only formatting adjustments to align with Virginia's official publication standards.

TECHNICAL

Removed 'Enrolled' designation and added 'Chapter 461' and approval date (March 24, 2025) to reflect the bill's enactment into law.

Adjusted line breaks, spacing, and capitalization throughout the text to conform to Virginia Acts of Assembly publication standards.

Reformatted the section header and subsection labels for consistency with official code publication requirements.
