Engrossed in Senate → Enrolled Bill · 4 edits

MODERATE

The bill moved from its Senate-engrossed form to its final enrolled form after passage by both chambers. The substantive policy content is unchanged; all modifications are formatting and structural, including the addition of standard enrolled-bill elements such as the congressional session header, enactment preamble, signature lines, and GPO conversion metadata.

TECHNICAL

Added standard enrolled-bill boilerplate: 119th Congress session header, 'An Act' preamble, 'Be it enacted' language, and signature blocks for the Speaker of the House and Vice President.

Reformatted the entire text from a line-by-line legislative draft layout into a condensed paragraph style with capitalized section headers (e.g., 'SEC. 2.' instead of numbered sub-sections on separate lines).

Added GPO Locator to USLM Converter metadata and public domain notice at the top of the document.

Added quotation marks around terms being struck or inserted (e.g., '2023' and '2026') for clarity in the amendment instructions.
