Act 946 → HB 1846 · 3 edits

MINOR

The bill was renumbered from Act 946 to HB 1846 for the 95th General Assembly, and the approval signature date was removed from the text. These are primarily formatting and procedural changes rather than substantive policy modifications.

TECHNICAL

Removed the 'Act 946 of the Regular Session' reference, indicating a change in how the bill is identified or numbered in the legislative process.

Added blank lines and updated the document header to reflect the 95th General Assembly and House Bill 1846 designation.

Removed the approval signature line dated 4/21/25, which was likely a placeholder or previous version artifact.
