MINOR

The bill transitioned from its original introduced version to an engrossed version with formatting and layout changes. The substantive policy content regarding personal property tax valuation appears unchanged, but the document structure was reformatted with different spacing, line breaks, and header information including a House Amendments date stamp.

TECHNICAL

Document formatting and layout were significantly altered between versions, including changes in spacing, line breaks, and the addition of a House Amendments date stamp (February 2, 2026) and bill identifier (HB960E). The actual legislative text regarding tax valuation categories remains substantively the same.

The header information was updated to reflect the engrossed status, changing from 'INTRODUCED' to 'ENGROSSED' and adding the House Amendments date, which indicates the bill has passed through committee review and is in its final form before potential enactment.
