This bill converts the 2025 session's enrolled legislation into the official chapter format for the Virginia Code. The substantive legal text remains identical; the changes are purely formatting, layout, and pagination adjustments required to finalize the bill as law.
TECHNICAL

Adjusted line breaks, indentation, and spacing throughout the document to conform to the official chapter format.
Added page numbers and chapter numbering (Chapter 504) to the end of the document.
