MODERATE

The bill was updated to formally mark it as an enrolled original version with a new resolution number (26-147) and date (March 31, 2026). The text was polished to improve clarity, correct minor grammatical errors, and standardize the formatting of legal terms and awards. No substantive policy changes, funding amounts, or eligibility criteria were altered.

TECHNICAL

Added official enrollment headers, including the resolution number 26-147 and the date March 31, 2026, to indicate the bill has passed both legislative houses.

Corrected a grammatical error in the second paragraph by changing 'a bachelor's degree in journalism and a juris doctor' to 'a Bachelor's in Journalism and a Juris Doctorate' for consistency and professionalism.

Inserted a new paragraph highlighting that Sandra Mattavous-Frye served with the Office of People's Counsel for more than 30 years, adding specific roles like Deputy People's Counsel and Director of Litigation.

Adjusted phrasing in several paragraphs to improve flow and accuracy, such as changing 'expanded protections' to 'expanded protection' and adding quotation marks around 'zealous representation' and 'Value of Solar'.
