What changed between versions

Introduced Enrolled · 1 edit · Feb 23, 2026
MINOR
The bill transitioned from an introduced draft to an enrolled, finalized version with no substantive changes to the policy. The core provisions, including the $130 million funding cap, the $2.15 billion investment requirement, and the 468 job creation threshold for Goochland County, remain identical. The primary differences are formatting adjustments and the addition of standard legislative headers and approval stamps found in the final enrolled act.
TECHNICAL

The document format changed from a standard introduced bill layout to the official enrolled act format, including page numbers, bill numbers, and approval stamps, but the legal text of the bill itself was not altered.
