The bill was amended to reflect its passage through the Senate, adding a formal title indicating it has been approved by that chamber. This is a procedural change marking the bill's progress in the legislative process rather than a substantive policy modification.

Added 'AS PASSED SENATE' header to indicate the bill has been approved by the Senate chamber, which is a standard procedural step in the legislative process.
