MINOR
The bill transitioned from a filed draft version to an enrolled final version. The substantive policy content of the bill remains unchanged, as both versions establish state preemption over presidential library regulation and prohibit local governments from enacting their own rules on the matter.
TECHNICAL
Removed draft metadata headers, page numbers, and coding instructions that were present in the filed version but not needed in the final enrolled bill.
Added enrolled bill metadata including final passage dates, bill status indicators, and official bill numbers to reflect its completion of the legislative process.
