MINOR
The bill text shows minor formatting adjustments, such as the removal of extra blank lines at the end of the document and the standardization of quotation marks in the title. These changes do not alter the substantive content, legal requirements, or policy intent of the legislation.

Removed extra blank lines at the end of the document, likely a formatting cleanup.

Standardized the quotation marks in the bill title from curly quotes to straight quotes, which is a technical correction rather than a policy change.
