MINOR
The bill has transitioned from its 'Engrossed' version to the final 'Enrolled' version, which is the text signed into law. The content of the legislation regarding portable savings accounts and IRA Fund administration remains substantively unchanged, with the differences being purely formatting updates to the page headers and footers.
TECHNICAL
Updated the document title and page headers from 'Engrossed' to 'Enrolled' to reflect the bill's final status.
