MINOR
The bill transitioned from a draft version containing sponsor lists and committee referrals to an enrolled version ready for signature. The text was cleaned of formatting artifacts, and the 'Whereas' clauses were updated to use possessive apostrophes (e.g., 'state's' instead of 'state[s') and corrected a typo in the 'America's Dairyland' slogan. No substantive policy changes, funding, or eligibility criteria were altered.
TECHNICAL
Removed draft metadata including sponsor names, cosponsors, and committee referral information.
Corrected text formatting errors, specifically changing bracketed placeholders like 'state[s' to proper possessive apostrophes 'state's' and fixing a typo in the 'America's Dairyland' slogan.
