MINOR
This bill marks the final approval of HB 1119, converting the legislative text from an 'Enrolled' draft to an official 'Chaptered' law. The substantive legal content regarding guardianship qualifications and clerk duties remains identical to the previous version, with no changes to policy, funding, or eligibility criteria.
Scope change
The bill's scope and applicability are unchanged; the text represents the same legislation now formally enacted into the Code of Virginia.
TECHNICAL
The document format was updated to reflect official chapter status, including the addition of a chapter number (265), an approval date (April 6, 2026), and page numbering, while removing draft session headers.
