MODERATE

The bill transitioned from an A-Engrossed version to an Enrolled version, which is the final version signed into law. The substantive policy content of the bill remained unchanged, with only formatting, sponsorship information, and signature lines added or modified to reflect the final legislative process.

TECHNICAL

Added sponsorship details listing all Representatives and Senators who sponsored the bill, which was present in the A-Engrossed version but formatted differently.

Removed the 'SUMMARY' section and editor's digest that explained the bill's purpose, as this is not part of the final enrolled legislation.

Changed the title from 'A-Engrossed' to 'Enrolled' and added signature lines for the House, Senate, and Governor to indicate the bill has been passed and signed into law.

Added page numbers and official filing information including dates when the bill passed the House and Senate and was received by the Governor.
