MINOR
The bill has transitioned from its 'Enrolled' status to 'Chaptered' status, meaning it has been officially signed into law and added to the Virginia Code. The substantive policy content regarding the grant fund, funding amounts, and eligibility criteria remains unchanged, though the formatting has been adjusted to match the official legislative publication style.
TECHNICAL

The document title was updated to include the official Chapter number (326) and the specific approval date (April 6, 2026).

The text layout and indentation were adjusted to conform to the standard formatting of the Virginia Acts of Assembly.

The initial header block indicating the session year and 'Enrolled' status was replaced with the final 'Chaptered' header and approval details.
