MINOR
The bill has transitioned from a House substitute version to the version passed by the Senate, updating the title page to reflect the Senate authors and changing the bill identifier from a substitute to the final Senate version. This change signifies that the bill has successfully moved through the House committee stage and is now in its Senate-approved form for further legislative action.
Scope change
The bill's substantive scope and applicability appear unchanged; the modifications are primarily procedural and formatting updates related to the bill's legislative history and authorship.
TECHNICAL
Updated the bill header to list the Senate sponsors (Senators Robertson, Anavitarte, Walker III, Albers, and Summers) instead of the previous House committee attribution.
Changed the bill title from 'S. B. 430 (SUB)' to 'S. B. 430' to reflect that it is now the version passed by the Senate rather than a substitute.
Adjusted page numbering and layout markers to align with the new Senate version format.
