MINOR
The bill was converted from an approved act (Act 824) to a new bill number (HB 1921) for the 95th General Assembly, with the approval date removed from the header. This appears to be a procedural renumbering rather than a substantive policy change.
TECHNICAL
Removed the approval date (4/17/25) from the bill header, indicating this is a new bill version rather than an enacted law.
Added blank lines in the header section, likely for formatting or spacing purposes in the new bill version.
