MINOR
This bill authorizes special Virginia license plates supporting the Social Butterflies Foundation with the legend 'LUPUS AWARENESS'. The primary change is the transition from the Enrolled version to the Chaptered version, which adds official chapter numbering (Chapter 72), approval date (March 18, 2025), and formatting adjustments typical of enacted legislation. The substantive policy content regarding plate fees, funding distribution, and program support remains unchanged.
Scope change
No substantive change to the bill's scope or applicability. The content remains the same; only formatting and official enactment markers were added.
TECHNICAL
Added official chapter designation (Chapter 72) and approval date (March 18, 2025) to indicate the bill has been enacted into law.
Formatting adjustments including line breaks and spacing changes between sections, which are standard when bills are formatted for official publication.
Removed session header information (2025 SESSION, ENROLLED, VIRGINIA ACTS OF ASSEMBLY -- CHAPTER) as these are replaced with the final chapter designation.
