MINOR
The bill text was converted from an 'A-Engrossed' version to an 'Enrolled' version, which is the final version sent to the Governor for signature. The substantive policy content regarding domestic violence fatality review teams and child abuse multidisciplinary teams appears unchanged, with the main differences being formatting, page numbering, and the removal of the summary section.
Scope change
No substantive change to the bill's scope or applicability; this is a procedural conversion from a legislative draft to the final enrolled version.
TECHNICAL
Removed the summary section and editorial notes that were present in the A-Engrossed version.
Changed document title from 'A-Engrossed' to 'Enrolled' and updated page numbering format.
Removed legislative history references (LC 2070, A-Eng. SB 135) and replaced with standard enrolled bill formatting.
