MINOR

This bill converts HB 1578 from an enrolled draft to an officially enacted chapter (Chapter 3) of the 2025 Virginia Acts of Assembly. The substantive policy content regarding the State Inspector General's powers and duties over behavioral health facilities remains unchanged, though the text was reformatted with additional spacing and line breaks typical of official publication.

TECHNICAL

The bill text was reformatted with additional blank lines and spacing adjustments to match official legislative publication standards.

The approval date was added as 'Approved March 18, 2025' to indicate when the bill was signed into law.

The bill title and chapter information were reorganized to reflect its status as an officially enacted chapter rather than a draft bill.
