MODERATE
The bill text was converted from an Engrossed Version to an Enrolled Version, which is the final certified version ready for the Governor's signature. The substantive policy content regarding the $28,400,666 funding increase for the Hope Scholarship Program remains unchanged; the differences are primarily formatting, navigation elements, and the addition of certification signatures from legislative clerks.
TECHNICAL
