This bill was formatted and finalized for enrollment after being in its first engrossment stage.

The only differences are formatting updates, page numbering, and the addition of certification language confirming the bill originated in the Senate.
Scope change
No substantive change to the bill's scope or applicability; only formatting and procedural documentation were updated.
TECHNICAL
Removed page numbers and line numbers that were present in the first engrossment version.
Added certification language at the end confirming the bill originated in the Senate.
Updated header formatting to show the bill is now enrolled rather than in its first engrossment stage.
