MINOR
The bill title was simplified from 'AS PASSED SENATE' to 'AS PASSED', indicating the bill has moved to the next stage of the legislative process. This is a procedural change rather than a substantive policy change.
TECHNICAL
Removed the specific chamber designation 'SENATE' from the bill status line, which is a standard formatting change as the bill advances through the legislative process.
