MODERATE

The bill was converted from a draft proposal to an enrolled, final version. The most significant substantive change is the correction of the appointee's title from 'Dr.' to 'Ms.' and the update of the legal citation to include the specific subsection (5)(a) and Article III of the relevant Compact, ensuring the reappointment aligns precisely with current statutory requirements.

Scope change

The bill's scope remains the reappointment of Dr. Tracy Hadden Loh to the Board of Directors of the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority, but the legal authority cited for this action was refined to be more specific.

TECHNICAL

The appointee's title was changed from 'Dr.' to 'Ms.' in the reappointment section.

All biographical information, publication lists, and resume details included in the draft version were removed, as these are not part of the final legal text.

Header information indicating the bill is now 'ENROLLED ORIGINAL' with the bill number 26-201 and an enrollment date of October 7, 2025 was added.

REQUIREMENT

The legal citation for the reappointment authority was updated to explicitly reference section 5(a) of Article III of the Compact and section 2 of the Board of Directors Act.
