MINOR
The bill has been transitioned from its filed draft version to the final enrolled version ready for the Governor's signature. The substantive policy content regarding the Hillsborough County Charter remains unchanged, as the differences are limited to formatting, header updates, and the addition of the 'ENROLLED' status.
TECHNICAL
Updated the document header to reflect 'ENROLLED' status and added '2026 Legislature' to the title page.
Changed the internal file identifier from 'hb4029-00' to 'hb4029 -00-er' to indicate the enrolled version.
Removed blank lines and spacing inconsistencies present in the draft version.
