MINOR
The bill has progressed from its Engrossed version to the final Enrolled version, which is the official text signed into law. No substantive policy changes, such as new funding, altered eligibility criteria, or modified definitions, were made during this final stage. The only difference is the update of the document title to reflect its final status.
TECHNICAL
The document title was updated from 'Engrossed' to 'Enrolled' to signify that the bill has passed all legislative stages and is ready for the governor's signature.
