MINOR

The bill's status changed from 'Introduced' to 'Enrolled', indicating it has been fully approved by both legislative chambers and is ready for the Governor's signature. The list of House Patrons was removed, which is a standard procedural step as the bill moves to final enrollment. No substantive policy changes, funding amounts, or eligibility criteria were altered.

TECHNICAL

Removed the 'Introduced' status and House Resolution number, replacing them with 'Enrolled' status to reflect final legislative approval.

Removed the list of House Patrons (Carr, Cousins, Krizek, McQuinn, Schmidt, and Willett), as patronage is no longer relevant once a bill is enrolled.
