MINOR
This bill converts the legislative text from a draft format to the final 'Chaptered' version, adding the official approval date and page numbers. The substantive legal content regarding voluntary contributions, license requirements, and identification card rules remains unchanged.
Scope change
The scope of the law remains identical; the change is purely the status of the document from draft to enacted law.
TECHNICAL
Added the official approval date (April 6, 2026), chapter number (328), and page numbers to the text.
Removed draft session headers and replaced them with the final chapter title and approval information.
Adjusted line breaks and spacing to match the standard format of the Code of Virginia.
