MODERATE
The document was converted from a draft amendment proposal into the final Enrolled Version of House Bill 2479. The substantive text of the bill, which governs the management of county economic development authorities and sets the minimum board size at seven members, remains unchanged. The primary changes involve the addition of legislative navigation menus, certification signatures, and official enactment dates.
Scope change
The scope of the bill's policy content remains unchanged; the text governing county authority boards was not modified.
TECHNICAL
Added full website navigation menus, contact information, and footer links that were present in the source HTML but removed during the conversion to the Enrolled Version text.
Added the formal certification block signed by the Clerks of the House and Senate, confirming the bill is correctly enrolled.
Removed the draft amendment motion text and the specific delegate names from the header, as these were part of the legislative process documentation rather than the final enacted law.
TIMELINE
Added the official passage date (April 12, 2025) and the effective date (90 days from passage), replacing the draft status indicators.
