MODERATE
This bill converts a House substitute version of HB 2751 into its final chaptered form, making it an official part of Virginia law. The substantive policy content remains unchanged, with the primary differences being formatting, page numbering, and the addition of official legislative metadata like the chapter number and approval date.
Scope change
No substantive change to the bill's scope or applicability; the content remains identical to the House substitute version.
TECHNICAL
Added official chapter designation (Chapter 422) and approval date (March 24, 2025) to convert the bill from a substitute version to enacted law.
Changed header information from 'HOUSE SUBSTITUTE' to 'VIRGINIA ACTS OF ASSEMBLY - 2025 SESSION' to reflect the bill's final status as enacted legislation.
Added page numbering (2 of 3) and official bill identifier [H 2751] to the final version.
Removed House-specific metadata including bill tracking number (25106229D), committee information, and patron name (Delegate Feggans) that are no longer relevant to the enacted version.
Adjusted line breaks and spacing throughout the document to conform to official legislative formatting standards.
