MINOR
The bill has transitioned from a draft substitute version to its final enrolled status, meaning it is now an official law of Virginia. The core policy content regarding the regulation of crystalline polymorph psilocybin remains unchanged, but the document now includes the formal title 'An Act' and the approval signature required for legislation to take effect.
Scope change
The bill's scope and applicability have not changed; it still directs the Board of Pharmacy to regulate psilocybin once approved by the FDA.
TECHNICAL

Added formal legislative headers including the session year, 'Enrolled' status, and the official act title.

Added the phrase 'Approved' to signify the bill has been signed into law.

Removed draft metadata such as 'Offered for Consideration' dates, committee attribution, and patron information.
