MINOR
The transition from the Engrossed to the Enrolled version of HB 4867 primarily involves formatting corrections and the removal of page header/footer markers that were accidentally included in the text. The substantive policy language regarding emergency vehicle lighting and EMS chief vehicle registration remains unchanged.
TECHNICAL
Removed stray page header text ('HB4867 Engrossed') that appeared within the body of the bill text, likely due to a copy-paste error during the legislative process.
Corrected minor spacing inconsistencies in the text, such as reducing the number of spaces between words in several lines.
Added the final page header ('HB4867 Enrolled') to the end of the document, which was missing in the previous version.
