MINOR
The bill transitioned from an introduced draft to an enrolled, final version ready for the Governor's signature. The core policy language remains identical, mandating the reversal of actions taken since January 2022 that removed resources promoting cultural competency and equity. The primary changes are purely technical, involving the addition of official session headers, page numbers, and approval stamps required for the bill to become law.
TECHNICAL

Added official session headers, page numbering, and approval stamps to the text to reflect its status as an enrolled act.
