MINOR
The bill text transitioned from a committee version (c1) to an enrolled version (er), with no substantive policy changes to the legislation itself. The core requirement remains the same: the Correctional Education Program must create a plan to give inmates credit toward professional licensure for classes they complete. The enrolled version includes standard legislative formatting and metadata updates.
TECHNICAL
Removed committee attribution and metadata headers; added enrolled status and final version identifiers
Standardized text formatting from multi-line paragraphs to single-line numbered sections
Updated bill identifier from 2025472c1 to 2025472er to reflect enrolled status
