MINOR
The bill was finalized from its 'Engrossed' version to the 'Enrolled' version, which is the final text sent to the Governor. The substantive content regarding wildlife trapping rules remains unchanged, though minor formatting adjustments were made to the page headers and footers to align with the final legislative record.
TECHNICAL
Page headers and footers were updated to reflect the final 'Enrolled' status instead of the previous 'Engrossed' status, standardizing the document for official filing.
