MINOR

The bill was reformatted from a House Draft (HD2) to a Senate Draft (SD1), resulting in the removal of page headers and metadata while adding a standardized summary description. The substantive policy text regarding the establishment of a working group, its membership, and the appropriation of funds remains unchanged.

TECHNICAL

Removed page headers, footers, and metadata artifacts (e.g., page numbers, timestamps, revision history) that were present in the House Draft version.

Added a standardized summary description block at the end of the document, which provides a brief overview of the bill's purpose and key actions for informational purposes.

Replaced the original line-by-line amendment markup with a clean, continuous text format typical of Senate drafts.
