MINOR

The bill underwent minor formatting updates, including a change in the legislature year display from '2025' to '- 2025' and a revision of the bill number from 'SR 1.1' to 'SR0001.2'. These adjustments appear to be technical corrections for document versioning and layout rather than substantive policy changes.

TECHNICAL

Updated the header text to include a hyphen before the year and changed the bill identifier to reflect a new version number.
