MINOR
The primary change between the Engrossed and Enrolled versions of HB 4576 is the update of the bill's status from 'Engrossed' to 'Enrolled', indicating it has been finalized and is ready for the Governor's signature. The substantive text regarding public employee benefits, penalties, and payroll requirements remains unchanged, with no modifications to funding amounts, eligibility criteria, or enforcement mechanisms.
TECHNICAL

The document header was updated to reflect that the bill is now in its final 'Enrolled' status rather than the previous 'Engrossed' status.
