MINOR
The document was converted from a draft 'Substitute Senate Bill' to an official 'Certificate of Enrollment' confirming the bill has passed both chambers of the Washington State Legislature. This change transforms the text from a proposed law into a certified record of legislative approval, adding specific vote counts and official signatures.
ENFORCEMENT

Added official certification text, vote tallies (49-0 in Senate, 97-1 in House), and signatures from the Secretary of the Senate and Speaker of the House to validate the bill's passage.

TECHNICAL

Inserted session details (69th Legislature, 2025 Regular Session) and dates of passage (March 3 for Senate, April 9 for House) to establish the official timeline.

Removed draft identifiers and preliminary formatting, replacing them with the formal 'Certificate of Enrollment' header and footer required for legal filing.
