MINOR
This bill changes the formatting and presentation of HB 2328 from a House Substitute version to its Chaptered (final) version. The substantive legal text remains identical, with no changes to the actual provisions regarding bail for pregnant persons or recent parents. The changes are purely technical, converting the bill from draft legislative markup to its final enacted form with proper chapter designation and approval date.
TECHNICAL

Converted from House Substitute draft format to Chaptered final version with proper Virginia Acts of Assembly formatting, chapter number (717), and approval date (May 2, 2025).

Removed House-specific metadata including bill number, committee information, and patron name from the final chaptered version.

Added proper chapter heading and approval language that appears in final enacted legislation.
