MINOR
The bill was formally enacted into law as Chapter 315 of the 2026 Virginia Acts of Assembly. The substantive text of HB 1469, which sets strict background screening and disclosure rules for Transportation Network Company (TNC) partners like Uber and Lyft drivers, remains unchanged. The primary difference is the addition of official legislative formatting, including the chapter number, approval date, and page numbering.
TECHNICAL

Added official legislative formatting elements such as the Chapter number (315), approval date (April 6, 2026), and page headers/footers to finalize the bill as law.

Removed the draft 'Enrolled' status header and replaced it with the final 'Chaptered' status.
