What changed between versions

Introduced → Enrolled · 3 edits · May 28, 2025
MINOR
The bill transitioned from an introduced draft to an enrolled final version, adding official signatures and dates from the Senate, House, and Governor to confirm passage and approval. The substantive legislative text regarding firefighting funding and reporting requirements remained unchanged, with only minor formatting adjustments to the header and layout. This change signifies the bill has completed its legislative journey and is ready for implementation.
TECHNICAL

Added official signatures, dates, and certification blocks from the Senate President, House Speaker, Secretary of Senate, Secretary of State, and Governor to finalize the enrolled bill.

Changed the document header from 'Senate Bill 861' to 'Enrolled' to indicate the bill has passed both legislative chambers and received gubernatorial approval.

Removed the 'SUMMARY' section that provided an editor's brief statement of the measure's features, as this is no longer needed in the final enrolled version.
