What changed between versions

Engrossed Version Enrolled Version · 3 edits · Apr 28, 2025
MINOR
The bill text was converted from an Engrossed Version to an Enrolled Version, adding standard legislative formatting elements like navigation menus, certification signatures, and effective date information. The substantive legal content of the bill remains unchanged, as the core provisions regarding court reporter appointments and electronic reporting methods are identical in both versions.
TECHNICAL

Added website navigation menus, certification signatures from legislative clerks, and effective date information that are standard formatting for enrolled bills but do not alter the law's substance.

Removed introductory metadata and committee referral information that appears in engrossed versions but is not part of the final enrolled bill text.

Condensed the main statutory text by removing line numbers and paragraph breaks while preserving all substantive legal language exactly as originally written.
