MODERATE
The bill transitioned from a draft version to an enrolled version, meaning it has been passed by both legislative chambers and signed into law. The substantive policy content regarding paid leave program accounting adjustments remains consistent, with no changes to the core provisions about debt compromise, overpayment retention, or effective dates.
Scope change
No substantive change to the bill's scope or applicability; the text reflects final legislative approval rather than policy modification.
TECHNICAL

Removed the summary section that explained the bill's purpose in plain language

Changed document header from 'Senate Bill 859' to 'Enrolled' to indicate final legislative approval

Added signature blocks for Senate, House, Governor, and Secretary of State to document final passage

Adjusted formatting and line breaks to match enrolled bill standards
