MINOR
The bill text was converted from an Introduced Version to an Enrolled Version, which is the final version signed into law. The substantive policy content of the bill itself did not change; it remains an act to repeal five specific sections of the West Virginia Code related to the Voluntary Gilding the Dome Check-Off Program. The primary changes are formatting, navigation elements, and the addition of certification signatures required for a bill to become law.
Scope change
No substantive change to the bill's scope or applicability; the legislative intent to repeal the specified code sections remains identical.
TECHNICAL
Added certification signatures from the Clerk of the Senate, Clerk of the House of Delegates, President of the Senate, Speaker of the House of Delegates, and Governor, which are required for a bill to be officially enrolled and enacted.
Removed introductory navigation menus, committee referral language, and version metadata that are only relevant during the legislative process, not in the final enrolled text.
TIMELINE
Added effective date language stating the bill is in effect 90 days from passage (July 8, 2025), which was not present in the Introduced Version.
