MINOR
The bill was finalized from its 'Engrossed' version to the 'Enrolled' version, which is the final text signed into law. A minor formatting adjustment was made to a list item regarding the identification of students who have earned State Global Scholar Certification, changing the word 'earned' to 'have earned' for grammatical consistency.
TECHNICAL
A minor grammatical edit was made in the requirements for school districts to maintain records, changing 'students who have earned' to 'students who have earned' (adding 'have') to ensure consistent phrasing.
