What changed between versions

Introduced in House → Engrossed in House · 1 edit · Mar 3, 2026

MINOR

The changes from the Introduced to Engrossed version of HR 4307 are entirely formatting and punctuation corrections. Subsection labels were reflowed onto single lines, indentation was normalized, and a stray period was corrected in subsection (a). No policy language, thresholds, deadlines, or requirements were altered.

TECHNICAL

Formatting and indentation changes throughout section 3: subsection labels like (a) and (b) were moved onto the same line as their headings, and nested items were re-indented. A period was corrected in subsection (a) so it falls inside the closing parenthesis rather than outside.
