MINOR

This bill converts HB 2199 from its 'Enrolled' status to 'Chaptered' status, meaning it has been officially approved and enacted into law. The substantive text of the ordinance and town manager charter for the Town of Richlands remains unchanged; the only modifications are formatting, spacing, and the addition of the chapter number and approval date.

TECHNICAL

Added chapter number (Chapter 29) and approval date (March 18, 2025) to the official enacted text.

Adjusted formatting and spacing throughout the document to match standard chaptered bill layout.

Removed 'Enrolled' header and replaced with 'Approved March 18, 2025' to reflect final passage.
