MINOR
The bill text shows minor formatting and metadata changes rather than substantive policy modifications. The Act number was updated from 'Act 251' to 'HB 1194', and the approval date line was removed while a timestamp was added. These appear to be administrative updates reflecting the bill's progression through the legislative process.
TECHNICAL
Removed the 'Act 251' designation from the header, indicating a renumbering or re-filing of the legislation.
Added a timestamp line (01-27-2025 09:01:39 MBM082) which appears to be a system-generated tracking identifier.
Removed the 'APPROVED: 3/6/25' line, suggesting the bill may not yet have been signed into law or the approval date was reset.
