MINOR

HB 53 was converted from a draft bill into an enrolled Act (Act No. 483), meaning it has been signed into law. The substantive policy content regarding the Upper Audubon Security District parcel fee remains unchanged, but the document was cleaned of draft headers and updated to reflect the final three-page version.

Scope change

The bill's scope and applicability remain exactly the same; no new districts, fees, or rules were added or removed.

TECHNICAL

Removed draft-specific headers, including the 'Digest' section, 'HLS 25RS-18' tracking numbers, and 'Original' labels.

Added official signatures and titles for the Speaker of the House, President of the Senate, and Governor, along with the final 'Enrolled' status.

Updated page counts from 'Page 1 of 4' to 'Page 1 of 3' to reflect the final document length.
