MINOR
This bill was finalized and enrolled for the Governor's signature, converting a draft version into an official enrolled bill with certification of passage by both legislative chambers and signature lines for the Governor. The substantive policy content remains unchanged from the previous version.
TECHNICAL

The bill text was converted from a draft 'Second Engrossment' format to an 'Enrolled' format, adding certification language confirming passage by the Senate (46-1) and House (87-5), and adding signature lines for the President of the Senate, Speaker of the House, Secretary of the Senate, Chief Clerk of the House, Governor, and Secretary of State.

Removed draft formatting elements including the bill number header '25.1189.03000', the 'Introduced by' section, and page numbering that were present in the Second Engrossment version.

Added enrollment certification language stating the bill originated in the Senate and is known as Senate Bill No. 2230, along with vote tallies from both chambers and official signature blocks for legislative officers and the Governor.
