MODERATE
The bill transitions from a formal enrolled act to a standard House Bill format, removing the official 'Enrolled House Bill' designation and associated legislative history while retaining the core statutory text. The substantive policy content remains unchanged, continuing to regulate homeowners association budgets and child care restrictions.
Scope change
The bill's scope and applicability remain unchanged; it still applies to Indiana homeowners associations and property transfers.
TECHNICAL
Removed the 'Enrolled House Bill' header and the detailed 'Printing Code' instructions regarding how amendments are displayed.
Added a 'Digest' section summarizing the bill's purpose, affected citations, and effective date, which was not present in the enrolled version.
Replaced the legislative history section with a standard committee referral and reporting timeline.
Reformatted the statutory text to remove page headers and footers (e.g., 'HEA 1152 - Concur') and added line numbers for the House Bill version.
