MINOR

This bill transitioned from an 'Engrossed' version to the final 'Enrolled' version, which is the official text signed into law. The changes are primarily technical, involving the removal of draft headers and page markers to finalize the document for publication. No substantive policy changes, such as new laws, funding amounts, or eligibility criteria, were added or removed in this specific diff.

TECHNICAL

Removed draft headers and page number markers (e.g., 'SB3049 Engrossed') that were present in the working version but are not part of the final legal text.

Added the final 'Enrolled' header and page number markers to indicate the bill has been approved by both legislative chambers and the Governor.
