MODERATE
The bill text was reformatted from a standard introduced version to an enrolled version, which is the final approved version ready for signing into law. The substantive policy content regarding the Joint Subcommittee on Recurrent Flooding remained unchanged, including membership composition, meeting limits, budget caps, and reporting requirements. The primary differences are formatting adjustments, spacing corrections, and the addition of official approval dates and document identifiers that indicate the bill has passed both chambers and is now final.
Scope change
No substantive change to the bill's scope or applicability; only formatting and finalization markup were added.
TECHNICAL
Removed introductory metadata (session dates, bill number, sponsor names) and replaced with enrolled version formatting including official approval dates and document identifiers.
Adjusted text spacing and line breaks throughout the document to match enrolled version standards.
Added official approval dates showing the bill was agreed to by the House of Delegates on February 3, 2025 and by the Senate on February 18, 2025.
Added document identifier 'HJ437ER' to indicate this is the enrolled version of House Joint Resolution 437.
