MINOR

This bill converts HB 2644 from an enrolled legislative bill to its final chaptered form, making it official law. The substantive policy content remains unchanged - it allows Virginia electric cooperatives to establish subsidiaries to serve large commercial customers (those with demand exceeding 90 megawatts) while maintaining separation between regulated and unregulated business activities.

Scope change

No substantive scope change - the bill's applicability to electric cooperatives and their subsidiaries remains the same. The only change is the formal conversion from draft to enacted law status.

TECHNICAL

Formatting and layout changes converting the bill from enrolled draft format to official chaptered law format, including page numbering and chapter designation (Chapter 499).

Minor text formatting adjustments including spacing, indentation, and line breaks throughout the document to match official chaptered law standards.
