MODERATE

The bill was reformatted from a traditional legislative document to a structured digital template with metadata headers. The substantive policy content regarding copying fees for government records remains largely unchanged, though the effective date was modified from 'upon approval' to 'January 1, 2525' (likely a typo for 2025).
