MINOR

The primary change is the transition of the bill from its 'Engrossed' stage to its 'Enrolled' stage, indicating it has been fully approved by both legislative chambers and is ready for the Governor's signature. The text of the bill itself, which honors Special Agent Justin Williams by naming a highway segment, remains substantively identical, with only minor formatting adjustments and the addition of official certification signatures from the House and Senate clerks.

TECHNICAL

The document title was updated from 'Engrossed' to 'Enrolled', reflecting the bill's final passage by both the House and Senate.

Official certification blocks were added at the end of the document, including signatures and dates from the Clerk of the House and the President of the Senate, confirming the bill's final adoption.

Minor line breaks and spacing were adjusted throughout the text to align with the standard formatting of enrolled legislation.
