MINOR
This bill formally enacts HB 1334 into the Virginia Code by changing its status from an enrolled draft to a chaptered law. The substantive policy content regarding militia duties remains unchanged, but the text includes minor formatting adjustments and a specific typo where a reference to subdivisions 1 through 6 now incorrectly includes the number 7.
TECHNICAL

The bill's status was updated from 'Enrolled' to 'Chaptered' (Chapter 466), finalizing its legal status in the 2026 session.

Minor formatting changes occurred, such as the addition of the approval date (April 8, 2026) and the removal of bracketed bill numbers.

A clerical error was introduced in subdivision 8, changing the reference from 'subdivisions 1 through 6' to 'subdivisions 1 through 6 7', which may confuse the scope of required training.
