Enrolled with Governor's Action → Reprinted · 4 edits

MODERATE

This bill reprints House File 390 with updated formatting and metadata rather than changing substantive policy. The core requirements for physical examinations of child care personnel remain the same, though the text shows minor formatting inconsistencies in the reprinted version.

TECHNICAL

Removed the formal Enrolled bill certification section including signatures from Speaker Pat Grassley, Senate President Amy Sinclair, and Governor Kim Reynolds.

Added reprint header information identifying this as House File 390 by the Committee on Health and Human Services, noting it is a successor to HSB 7, and showing it was amended and passed by the House on March 12, 2025.

Changed page numbering format from 'House File 390, p. 2' to 'HF 390 (3) 91' with different pagination styling.

Reformatted the bill text from single-word line breaks to standard paragraph formatting with line numbers, though the underlying legal text content remains substantively the same.
