What changed between versions

Enrolled → Chaptered · 3 edits
MINOR
This bill converts the legislative text of HB 307 from its approved draft form into the official 'Chaptered' form, which is the final version added to the Virginia Code. The substantive legal text regarding estate administration and creditor claims remains unchanged, though the formatting has been standardized to include the official chapter number (382) and the final approval date (April 8, 2026).
Scope change
The scope of the law itself has not changed; only the document's status has been updated from a proposed act to an enacted law.
TECHNICAL

The document header was updated to reflect the official chapter number (382) and the specific approval date (April 8, 2026), replacing the generic session title.

Excessive blank lines and spacing were removed to align with standard legal publication formatting.

The text was converted from a draft format with deletion/insertion markers to a clean, final legislative text.
